The Austin Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America will feature the debut of our new publication, "The Ecologist's Guidebook to Policy Engagement."
Aimed primarily at ecological scientists, the book provides advice for interacting with government entities, an overview of key environmental laws and tips on effective preparation and communication with policy-makers. The book also includes advice for interacting with the media through letters to the editor, op-eds or contributions to science blogs. The guidebook will be released during Special Session 13 on Tuesday, August 9, 8 pm -10 pm in room 18 D of the Austin Convention Center. Free copies of the guidebook will be distributed to all session participants. A cash bar and light snacks will also be provided.
