> researchers to form strong collaborative bonds that reach across 
> disciplines and other boundaries. Every year the DISsertations 
> initiative for the advancement of Climate Change ReSearch (DISCCRS, 
> pronounced /discourse/) hosts a symposium for early-career climate

> communication and teambuilding skills, and discuss emerging research 
> and trends. Scholars will also have the chance to talk about the 
> societal and professional challenges involved in climate change 
> research, with each other and with established researchers invited to 
> serve as mentors.
