Opposing camps are dueling over the quality of key experiments, and some are flinging barbs at meetings and in journals. The dispute pits an outspoken group of ecologists against some of the leading lights in the field.

In these budget-deficit times, the competition for scarce federal dollars has grown ever stiffer and ecological scientists must make an extra effort to be heard. Open to all ESA graduate student members, this award will be given to up to two applicants for a special two-day event on April 18 and 19, 2007. ESA will cover travel and lodging expenses associated with this event. ESA works with several other scientific societies to organize this annual event, which is sponsored by the Biological Ecological Sciences Coalition (BESC). Awardees will participate in an afternoon of briefings from the Administration and Congress. An evening reception will feature many other biological scientists, congressional staff, and Members of Congress. Day two will feature several team visits with congressional offices to advocate for support of the biological sciences. <a href="http://www.haylibrosgratis.com" rel="nofollow">Descargar Libros</a> If you’re a graduate student and ESA member interested in learning

]]> Comment on Perspectives on Policy from ESA’s President, Norm Christensen by Mike Vandeman http://www.esa.org/egwash/?p=16&cpage=1#comment-48 Mike Vandeman Wed, 23 Jul 2008 04:13:31 +0000 http://www.esa.org/egwash/?p=16#comment-48 Scientists claim to value science, but their choice of what to study is very subjective, thereby biasing the results. For example, I don't think there is much research on human-free habitat. The concept doesn't even exist outside a few people like me. Nor is there any acknowledgement of humans as an exotic species. Mention of humans in the context of exotic species is conspicuously absent! I also haven't seen much on the abuse of science, such as the fact that so-called "researchers" on mountain biking impacts deliberately misrepresent their results, in order to promote their hobby. Do you know of anyone doing these kinds of work? Scientists claim to value science, but their choice of what to study is very subjective, thereby biasing the results.
