In 2015, the Ecological Society of America celebrates the centennial of its founding – 100 years of growth in the discipline and the society. The future of a discipline is shaped by its community of practitioners. This one minute film short presents some of the faces of the community as ESA embarks on its second century as an advocate for ecology and a voice for ecologists. Look for a longer version, coming soon to the 100th Annual Meeting of the society in Baltimore, Maryland, this August.
