Launched in 2019 in the state-of-the-art Physics and Astronomy and Interdisciplinary Science (PAÍS) building, the Interdisciplinary Science Cooperative (Co-op) is dedicated to bringing people across disciplines together in the spirit of producing stronger research outcomes that positively impact our world. Join us for an evening with Jillian Rutherford, a first-year PhD student who is working collaboratively with the Comparative HuMan and Primate Physiology Center (CHmPP) and the Center for Advancement of Spatial Informatics Research & Education (ASPIRE) to advance our understanding of human evolution.

Through a truly revolutionary approach, Jillian is using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to track chimpanzees in Africa from Albuquerque! Learn how UNM students and faculty are benefitting from this new interdisciplinary program, find out how Jillian is increasing our understanding of these incredible animals, and tour the campus's new state-of-the-art facility that is putting UNM on the map as a nationwide leader in research and education.
