ESA News and Views, the ESA blog, features posts and comments about all things ecological. This week, read a proposal from Lonnie Aarssen, Department of Biology, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, that the ESA Blog has the capacity to become an important domain for peer-reviewed, citable publication of commentaries and opinion pieces. =20 Also, catch up on last week's contribution from the leaders of ESA's Student Section, asking "Why are we ecologists and proud of it?"=20 =20 And post your own comments on these and other contributions at www. <http://www.esa.org/esablog> esa.org/esablog. =20 =20 =20 ESA needs your contributions too, so here are some guidelines. We look forward to hearing your thoughts. What You Should Write About
"I want the ESA web site to make me proud to be an ecologist and of my affiliation with the organization." The above came from a member as we planned our new web site and is a central reason why we created this blog. We want you to write about what makes you proud to be an ecologist. What do you find most fascinating in your current research, work, or teaching? Are you attending a meeting that you're excited about? What has amused or amazed you? Enthused or angered you? Share it with other ESA members around the world! Our blog coordinator will work with you individually to hone your topics before posting; however, they should be driven by that which makes you passionate about our field. Tell your story! Please submit your contribution, with a suggested title and full contact information, to [EMAIL PROTECTED] =20 =20
