Mish Michaels
Mish Michaels is a broadcast meteorologist, environmental reporter and author.[1] Michaels was born in Kolkata, India. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and a Master's degree in Technology from Harvard University.[2]
Michaels worked at WHDH and The Weather Channel.[3] She joined the WBZ-TV weather team in September 2001 and left in July 2009. After leaving WBZ, she spent time raising her children and writing books in her spare time.[3] In late 2010, she contributed to the book, Extreme New England Weather written by Josh Judge, with her story of a deadly microburst in Stratham, New Hampshire in 1991.
On January 31, 2017, Michaels announced via Twitter her employment with WGBH as a science reporter.[4] As of February 8, 2017, it has been made public that she has been fired from this position as she "...has been outspoken in her controversial belief that vaccines cause autism..."[5] as well as a disbelief in man made climate change. Michaels later disputed these claims on her personal website.[6][7]
