Sustainify
Sustainify is a student-run podcast presented by McGill's Research and Sustainability Network. We are all about looking at the network of sustainability through different professions and among generations. Throughout this podcast we hope to gain and share knowledge on how caring for our planet can be done in a plethora of ways. We also hope to inspire listeners with ways that they can take action too!

Behind the Scenes of Climate Modeling with Dr. Robert Fajber
In this first episode, Sustainfiy sits down with Dr. Robert Fajber, a leading climate scientist and Assistant Professor in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at McGill University. With a background in physics and a passion for understanding Earth's climate system, Dr. Fajber has worked across academia, government, and the private sector to explore the connections between hydroclimate, atmospheric dynamics, and global energy flows.
We dive into everything from advanced climate models to real-world observations—how they work, where they fall short, and what they can (and can’t) tell us about the future of our climate. We also explore some surprising lessons from simplified "toy" models and what it’s like to work in climate science when eco-anxiety is so real.
Join us for an eye-opening conversation as we break down the inner workings of climate predictions with an expert!
