Ayana- I’m reading your new book along with my granddaughter, Kara, a brand new college student studying for a career in marine science. We’re in Washington state and my husband served his whole career as a scientist with National Marine Fisheries Service based in Seattle, so she has strong encouragement for her interests.

We’re both loving the book, not only the hopeful focus, but also the wide range of opportunities you consider with impacts on getting it right on climate.

I just signed up for your substack not realizing it was a podcast. I find I get a bit too fidgety to sit and listen to talking. Are there transcripts by any chance? Thanks so much for your work, and for presenting the climate conversation in ways so accessible to young budding scientists and their grandmothers.

Thrilled you both are loving the book! There are some good oceany parts toward the end… And thank you for subscribing here! Some posts are audio and some are written, so you can scroll back for the text ones, but yes there are also transcripts. :)

Loved listening to this conversation. Loved your response to what type of climate book does the world need right now and how you had to navigate through your training to write more of yourself into it. 🥰

Wow, this was a fantastic conversation! Thank you for keeping the intro music long this week, the theme music makes me inexplicably happy and I’m so glad y’all brought it over from How to Save a Planet.

So many incredible thoughts and comments in this episode. “F%#k hope, what’s your strategy?” might be my new mantra. Very glad you’ve landed in Maine, there is so much good work to do and people ready to get the hard stuff done. We’ve got a Chaga forest, a beaver project and a mill renovation underway in Rumford, always excited to connect with any Bowdoin students who might be interested. Thanks for the new book and this series of podcasts, it has been so incredibly helpful in keeping us on track.
