Mentors: climate change is hopeless—at least, that’s the message many young scientists are hearing from the people they were told to admire. But what if giving up isn’t the only option? In this episode, I respond to a heartfelt email from a marine science student who refuses to stay silent, even when senior scientists tell her that solutions to climate change are naive, misguided, or politically inconvenient.
Mentors: climate change is hopeless may be the mantra of a tired system, but this generation of scientists has grown up under the weight of ecological crisis—and they’re ready to do something about it. I share concrete advice for early-career changemakers who want to be bold, build community, speak truth to power, and help people understand real climate solutions despite institutional apathy. If you’re frustrated, fired up, and looking for a way forward, this one’s for you.
