Stay Connected“ease” is where young people meet the experts shaping tomorrow. Hosted every Friday by Nailea Devora and Justus Bryce, we sit down with doctors, researchers, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders to break down the big questions, challenge the way we think, and uncover insights you won’t find in a textbook.
Through raw, honest, and thought-provoking conversations, ease makes complex ideas feel accessible. Because the future isn’t just coming, it’s already here.
Join us at the table with Dr. Noah Diffenbaugh, a leading climate scientist and Stanford professor whose work bridges science, society, and justice. From decoding extreme weather to translating climate data into real-world insight, Dr. Diffenbaugh helps make sense of what’s actually happening to our planet, and what the data really tells us. In this episode, we explore how understanding the science behind climate change can shift the conversation from panic to perspective, and from fear to informed action. Enjoy!
