Jane and I just wrapped up an awesome week at the Ecological Society of America conference. We literally met hundreds of women who were excited about the organization and want to get involved. We also recognize there is still so much work to be done-within ESA and science, and we are moving forward with concrete actions to help our society be more diverse and inclusive.
What we've done
Had an uber successful ESA meet-up. Host your own!
At the ESA meet-up we used the diversity wheel, so important!

What we like
- Why the past matters now.
Grants supporting advocacy and awards for public engagement.
