ESA’s Communication and Engagement Section works towards two goals: (1) professionalizing science communication efforts within and beyond ESA and (2) providing resources and mentorship to ecologists interested in transitioning to careers in science communication or incorporating meaningful communication and engagement into their careers. Join us to learn more about our section initiatives (including two new awards!), opportunities to collaborate, and what we see as our role in continuing to build a professional society that values and promotes inclusive and meaningful communication and engagement.
