  <title><![CDATA[BBISS Graduate Fellows Publish Article on Educating for Academic Leadership in Sustainability]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The first cohort of the Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems (BBISS) Graduate Fellows <a href="https://doi.org/10.1525/elementa.2023.00012">published an article</a> in the open-access, peer-reviewed journal, <a href="https://online.ucpress.edu/elementa"><em>Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene</em></a>. The seven Ph.D. students reflected on their two years of working, studying, and training together as an interdisciplinary sustainability research team. In the article, they give their insights into how they benefited from this approach and what steps might be taken to improve graduate level, sustainability-related programs. Further, their paper offers researchers and educators a rare perspective into interdisciplinary research and education from the standpoint of students who are still pursuing their degrees and actively engaged in research for their chosen disciplines.</p><p>Citation: McSorley, M, Arkhurst, BK, Hall, M, Zha, Y, Spyrou, IM, Duchesneau, K, Ringania, U, Chang, M. 2023.

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
