Happy #PiDay, and also #DressForSTEM! You will see female meteorologists across the country wearing purple today to encourage young women to pursue their dreams and go into STEM fields.
When two of your coworkers wear matching pi cardigans on #piday, you have to make a pi sandwich! 😂 Had no idea @SvahaUSA made these! @JenCarfagno @jaderecuts #DressForSTEM pic.twitter.com/Go1FmmJltU

This is the third annual #DressForSTEM to bring awareness that there needs to be more women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It started as a joint effort among female meteorologists and their passion to encourage young women to pursue higher education in STEM fields. In 2015 women held nearly half of all U.S. jobs, but only 24% of STEM jobs. Anyone can wear purple today in support of women in STEM!
Proud to be a scientist and a woman in a STEM career. And proudly wearing my purple today to support #DressForSTEM to encourage young women to pursue science, technology, math, and engineering fields! @GoodDayAtlanta pic.twitter.com/QudGWvOHmI

#DressforSTEM Wear purple to raise awareness for women in STEM careers (Kent missed the memo😂). I didn’t know I wanted to be a meteorologist until college, likely due to not seeing a female met on tv growing up. I’m honored to be the first female met @KFOR and @news5wcyb 💜💜💜 pic.twitter.com/DUWKcMjjrE

Each year this movement has grown larger and larger and it’s nice to see people are taking notice. Now that I have a daughter, #DressForSTEM means even more to me. I want young women of all ages to know they can pursue any career they want, including STEM fields. Hopefully this inspires young women to dream big and be fearless in pursuing their passions.

How do I find, watch, Andy record again if possible the program “The top 10 things you can do to save the plane”…thank you…David Camden
These weather gals rock! Save the date 3/14, Purple on Pi day!
@stephanieabrams, @liana-brackett, @haleybrennan, @dewpointdiva, @kcass, @maria-larosa, Dr. @twcerikanavarro, and @alexwilson, I thank all of you for wearing purple on National Pi Day to support ALL women in STEM! That makes my day! I have worn purple to serve that same purpose all day today and will do it again tomorrow. #DressforSTEM 💜💁
I pray for more women to dream big, to pursue their ultimate goal, and to be fearless. This way, we can inspire a generation. #purplereign 🙋🙏
