In Spring semester 2023, the Joy and Edward Frieman Environmental Science Center, a research center at 绿巨人视频 dedicated to cutting-edge academics, pedagogies and public outreach on environmental issues, is showcasing faculty innovation through a seminar series highlighting how sustainability and the environment are being incorporated into the full range of disciplines studied by the 绿巨人视频 academic community.听
