When I was applying to graduate schools a long time ago, I visited the University of Chicago and met one of the world’s most famous tornado researchers, Dr. Ted Fujita. Even though I did not go to school there, I remained in awe of his amazing research on how tornadoes form and move. So I am excited to see that PBS’ The American Experience is offering a 1-hour show on the life and work of Ted Fujita on Tuesday night, May 19 at 9 pm EDT. If you are interested in how we learned so much about tornadoes, you will want to watch this. You can read more about it and watch some trailers of the show at https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/mr-tornado/.
Update: If you did not get to watch the show, it is now available online at https://www.pbs.org/video/mr-tornado-upsuu9/. Enjoy!
