So much joy, love, and community in the #WOCinEEB Special Session this morning (and quite a crowd!) at #ESA2022 #CSEE2022. The future of women of color and non-binary POC in ecology looks bright!!

Today seems like a great day to mention that if you self-identify as a WOC or non-binary POC working in EEB you should join WOCinEEB Slack! If you're done with this bird app join us over there for community, solidarity, mentorship, & networking. #WOCinEEB wocineeb.wordpress.com
