The Student EcoFilm Awards (SEAs) is the first-ever ESA contest designed to honor outstanding student contributions to ecological science through film. The contest will culminate in a two-hour film festival at the 2008 ESA annual meeting in Milwaukee, where we will present the best student ecology films. The three most outstanding films will be awarded free registration to the 2008 meeting!

This year, the ESA Student Section is preparing to launch a bimonthly newsletter to connect students with national-level news and events in the ecological sciences. We are in the early stages of developing the newsletter, and we want your input! We are currently looking for volunteers to help organize sections of the newsletter focused on:

1. National-level news in ecological sciences
2. Perspectives on life as a student/postdoctoral researcher
3. a "Dear PI" column (similar to a "Dear Abby" column, with an ecology research twist!)
