Reflections on becoming an ecologist:
Diverse Motivations, Challenges, and Experiences
The ways that we become ecologists reflect our diverse backgrounds, interests, and ways of meeting challenges. At professional meetings, we typically present our research findings. The 2019 Diversity Lunch presentation provides an opportunity to consider the reflections of three ecologists about the “why and how” of their careers. Each will present a brief narrative that focuses not on their research perspectives, but rather on the benefits they have encountered, how they have (or have not) overcome their challenges, and insights they might have for other ecologists.
