ESA Education Section Paper Award
The ESA Education Paper Award is back! ESA will offer an award (monetary – $100) for the best recently published paper on ecology education. They encourage submissions that use the 4DEE Framework, but any education focused paper is welcome. The goal is to highlight new ideas that enhance the teaching of ecology. Papers will be reviewed by the officers of the Education Section and the Award announced at the Annual Meeting. Please submit by July 17, 2020.
