The ESA Water Cooler
During the COVID-19 pandemic, with so many ecologists, students, and supporters working remotely, ESA began providing virtual meeting space for members to connect . The ESA Water Cooler Chats are held with an easy informal style where we can see each other, talk about the science, work, and struggles or share resources. It’s like a radio talk show except you can interact live – online.
Bring your favorite beverage!
