as a PhD student in climate science, I've been discouraged by (some) senior faculty members from being involved in any climate change activism. they say it will make people question your objectivity as a scientist and will look bad when applying for academic jobs later on. How would you respond to these people and what are some impactful things PhD students can do that won't comprise their academic career?
