Field Journal, 2024 Scholars, Week 2

One of the unique aspects of the Laidlaw Program is that it connects students with diverse research interests. How can researchers collaborate and connect effectively with scholars from various disciplines to foster interdisciplinary innovation and tackle complex global challenges?  Have your conversations with the Laidlaw community allowed you to understand ways in which your own research and/or academic interests might extend beyond the field of your research and/or your intended major? In what ways might your research benefit from the perspective or expertise of someone from outside your discipline?
