ESA Diversity Luncheon: Innovators and Trail Blazers in Ecology Part 1: Seeing Ecology in Unconventional Places

Group Name: The first of two parts looking forward to ESA’s grand Centennial celebration, this year’s Diversity Luncheon will feature people who have brought the understanding and practice of ecology to new levels, new locations, new industries, and new populations. Innovators and trailblazers are unique people willing to absorb challenges to untested ideas. What inspired them? What challenges did they have to overcome? How have they broadened our view of ecology in theory and in practice? Join in the conversation and muse over the unlikely places where ecology might thrive over the next 100 years.
