In this second part of this two-episode podcast, continue with our host Andrés Tangarife as he talks with Prof. Dr. Susan Trumbore, director of the Department of Biogeochemical Processes at the MPI for Biogeochemistry in Jena. In this conversation, they will speak about the complexity of climate change when it touches the social and the political spheres. Furthermore, they will discuss the link between fossil fuels, economy and lifestyle as well as on the role of scientists in society and their engagement in climate activism.
