The objective of the panel is to discuss best practices, challenges, and benefits of conducting interdisciplinary research. We will focus on how to promote and establish collaborations and how to involve both undergraduate and graduate students in interdisciplinary research. We will also address issues of promotion and tenure, funding, and finding positions as interdisciplinary scientists.
