Ecological Society of America Student Section

The Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS) and the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI) at Ohio State University are sponsoring an Advanced Study Institute (ASI) and workshop in Conservation Biology to be held July 28 - August 13, 2010 at the Kenya Wildlife Services Training Institute in Naivasha, Kenya. During the 3-day workshop (August 11 – 13, 2010) interdisciplinary researchers will discuss their work with graduate students and assist the graduate students in developing research projects.

Photography and film’s visual and interdisciplinary nature can make them effective and attractive tools for scientific research and outreach, teaching multiple audiences about the environment, humanity’s relationship to it, and actions to take for it. The ESA Eco-Art Festival will celebrate and award the outstanding artistic contributions made by ESA members to ecological science through photography and film.

We're pleased to announce the winners of the following awards:

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) in partnership with the Student Section of the Ecological Society of America (ESA-SS) will honor young scientists for their contributions to the discipline of ecology that have extended beyond the realm of academia and into the broader communities of which they are a part.

The ESA Student Section is pleased to sponsor the first Academic Excellence Award for Young Women in Ecology. We will award one female student a prize for academic excellence demonstrated by an outstanding research publication and a commitment to increase the visibility of other women scientists.
