\"\"<\/a>It is no secret that the world is becoming increasingly digital. The evening news has less of a role in disseminating leading headlines than a friend or colleague does. That is, social media outlets have become primary sources of news\u2014in general, stories vetted by friends, coworkers and family members have gained more credibility<\/a> than a random, syndicated news report. This change in interactive networking brings with it challenges and a unique potential to broaden and simultaneously deepen conversations about science.<\/p>\n

As a result, the Ecological Society of America, has launched a new Facebook page<\/a> as part of its efforts to initiate dialogue about the Society and ecological research, policy engagement, education and other initiatives in general. The new Facebook page allows you to Like ESA, post on the wall, view or add photos and start a discussion. You can also subscribe to the new Facebook page on your phone or as an RSS feed to receive ESA news and updates from the ecological community.<\/p>\n

ESA also provides updates on Twitter<\/a> @ESA_org. And during this year\u2019s annual meeting in Austin<\/a>, Texas, tweeting enters meeting attendees into a drawing for the new ESA t-shirt, \u201cEcologists Do It in the Field.\u201d Use Twitter and Facebook to share your thoughts on Earth Stewardship\u2014in addition to networking with colleagues and receiving real-time meeting and Society announcements. Join the conversation about Earth Stewardship using #earthsteward on Twitter and mentioning \u201cEarth Stewardship\u201d on ESA\u2019s Facebook wall. All responses will be automatically entered into the daily drawing. To share information about the annual meeting in general, use #ESA11 on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The theme of this year\u2019s meeting, \u201cEarth Stewardship: Preserving and enhancing the earth\u2019s life-support systems,\u201dwill be explored in the numerous presentations and discussions during the conference.\u00a0 The Society hopes some participants will also use the Society\u2019s social media venues to share opinions, ideas, insights and suggestions. With your help, these contributions can help ESA formulate the best approaches to enhancing Earth Stewardship.<\/p>\n

Participants MUST be attending the annual meeting in order to collect the prizes. Winners will be announced on Twitter through ESA\u2019s Twitter page, using the @mention feature to notify the winner. They will also be announced on ESA\u2019s Facebook wall. Prizes will be picked up at the ESA booth in the exhibit hall.<\/em><\/p>\n
