Ecolog and Madhu:
Next to sociologists, "ecologists" take the cake for finger-wagging; thus
they end up ignored. Maybe if "they" did less preaching and more explaining
in terms others can understand, "things" would BEGIN to change. But don't
expect "it" to flip overnight, it will take time to heal the mental scars
that thousands of insults have ground into the public psyche, not to mention
the misinformation.
One way might be a fact-check source that reporters and Joe Sixpacks could
depend upon. However, given the limited ability of "ecologists" to iron out
rather simple matters among themselves, what chance would such a source
have?
Brainstorm that!

Subject: [ECOLOG-L] A few thousand ecologists meet in the city to discuss
Earth stewardship... but does anybody know or care? - a leaf warbler's
gleanings
Hello from Austin, folks!
I would like to share some thoughts from my blog as I prepare for the ESA
2011 meeting starting here today, and wonder why this big meeting isn't in
the news - anywhere:

I would appreciate any feedback, on why ESA isn't more in the news, or
whether it is just my misperception.
