Project funding: PhD Collab Pilot Program

Congratulations to Ilsa and Elsa for receiving funding from the UBC Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS) PhD Collab pilot program for their project “How to build a living planet: the ingredients for life on other worlds”. The primary objectives of this program are to provide new opportunities for PhD students to build competencies and networks in collaborative, inter/transdisciplinary scholarly work, and to advance collaboration as a desired research and learning mode across disciplines to enrich scholarship. This will be a collaboration with Dr. Michelle Kunimoto (Physics & Astronomy), Dr. Sean Crowe (Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Science; Microbiology & Immunology), Justine Obidowski (PHYS), and Shea Thorne (EOAS).
