The Engage ESA project led by Melissa Kenny and Frank Davis (2018), in collaboration with several Sections, led to this 2020 report: “Increasing the Impact of Public Engagement Within and Beyond the Ecological Society of America“. Co-authors include two past-chairs of the C&E Section and several section members.

Communicating Science – submit to the new section in The Bulletin!

This section and collection in The Bulletin of the Ecological Society features best practices which can support and enhance members’ efforts in communication and engagement, the science of science communication, education and teaching, and related fields of scholarship. ESA members are active at the interface of ecology and science communication and engagement, and many of the publications in this section are by members of the Communication and Engagement Section.
