Journal’s Quarterly: Our First Newsletter | Green Careers, Stories, a Podcast, and an Event Invite | Vol I
Hi y’all!
This is our first newsletter! We now have enough articles to be a more structured publication and publish a newsletter every quarter. Within the next few coming weeks, we will become a uniquely registered publication with its own identity in the obscure world of journals. All that being said, in this issue, we bring you a curated list of environmental careers, a list of our first five stories, a fun little climate podcast episode, and an event invite.
Hope you all like it!
