We all need to make decisions about what to include, or not include, in courses. How might a lack of consideration for 4DEE as a whole impact student learning? What are the possible perils of selectively devaluing coverage of each 4DEE dimension? Bring your favorite beverage and join us In this provocative watercooler chat.

Season 5 

  • How can I learn to be a better negotiator? 
    Video coming soon
    April 3, 2024 @ 3:00 pm ET
    We ecologists all need to negotiate for our jobs, our benefits, collaborations, contracts, and sometimes just in human interactions. Come to learn some tips and tricks to be a better negotiator, hear some panelists discuss their negotiating experiences, and ask questions and discuss successful negotiation. Do you have negotiations coming up in your future? Do you have positive or negative negotiating experiences to share? What do you want to learn about negotiating? This watercooler is intended for everyone: early career ecologists, their mentors, and experienced professionals who have tips to pass on or who are looking for tips to improve. Grab your favorite beverage and join the ESA Education Committee in the conversation about negotiating!
