One of our robotic cameras went rogue during the noon show and started to come at me...

Needless to say, I was ready for a fight 🤣

These two couldn't get any cuter 🥰

Saffir and Simpson are 100% bonded and will be adopted together as soon as I find them the right home ☺️

A lot of my on-air broadcast style has been shaped by three people: Steve Irwin, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and Ms. Frizzle 💚

Getting an autograph from "The Friz" absolutely made my day! Thank you @lilytomlin.bsky.social! 🥰

A picture of Ms. Frizzle signed "Go Katie! The Friz, Lily Tomlin"

Sometimes, when the weather is exceptionally boring, I find & use the most bizarre graphics our system has to offer 😂

"Brace For Impact" was inspired by the saucer section crash in Generations 💥

I 3D printed Odo's bucket and the Targ Balls are a family recipe 🤤

I also made the #StarTrek confetti and LCAR labels 🎉😂🖖🏻

It's Star Trek Day eve, and to celebrate I hosted a feast! 😋

I've been working on this idea for years, so it's fun to see it become a reality! 🤩

Happy #StarTrek Day! 🖖🏻

I'll add close ups in the comments for anyone who wants to take a closer look 👀

I dare say these two are domesticated 🥰

Saffir is still skittish, but she's no longer hissing/scratching. Simpson is a total love bug who melts into a puddle anytime you pet him ❤️

So grateful that I've been able to help them ☺️ #Kittens

I met Scott Bakula 🥹🥰

His performances have had a profound impact on my life, so getting to talk with him meant the world to me ❤️

Thank you #STLV

I met @actordougjones.bsky.social 🥹

What's crazy is he was recently in a car crash, hurt his shoulder, and just had shoulder surgery. What are the odds?! 🤯

He gives the best hugs 🥰 #STLV

He's an actor who played a character I love in Star Trek 😃 As a meteorologist, I asked him to personalize the autograph for me

Meteorologist's Log, Stardate... today:

I'm currently on an away mission trying to find non-smoky air for my viewers in Michigan. I've ventured to Las Vegas, but sadly no luck.

I have, however, stumbled upon a Star Trek convention and will be staying through the weekend to investigate further 🤔

Meet Saffir and Simpson 🥰

Weather nerds will appreciate their names 😂

I finally captured them! I won't be keeping them, but I will be socializing/rehabilitating them as best I can and will get them to a good home 💙

"Aren't you a little old to be having the time of your life at the #PhineasAndFerb panel at #SDCC2025?" No, no I'm not 😂

Not going to lie, I teared up a bit when the cast started doing their character's voices 🥹

One of my top favorite panels of all time! ❤️💛

Went to the Comic Con Museum this morning and they had a Doctor Who Exhibit!!! 💙💙

They have screen used costumes and props from the show and actually integrated a lot of amazing scientific discussions into the entire exhibit!

As a scientist and nerd I absolutely LOVED IT! 😍

Next Stop: San Diego! 😎

For the first time since my surgery, I'm able to go on an adventure! 🤩

Months of not being able to do anything other than sit/be in pain took a toll on me, so you can imagine my relief that I'm healthy enough to go to San Diego Comic Con!
