Interdisciplinary Research 2.0
Some people say there is no "i" in team. That’s because they’ve never done interdisciplinary work before. For a small university in a small town, we're making a big difference. Interdisciplinary encompasses research from different fields of study. For some researchers that means piling on prefixes and thinly slicing research problems, like a biogeochemist studying micronanotech accumulations in histosol soils. That's highly specialized.
On the cover: From wildfires to invasive species to diseases, we’re taking research to the next level. The work goes beyond a lone lab or single scientist. This is how our teams are solving big challenges together.
