PRESENTER: Paul Bower, United Kingdom
The British Ecological Society is the world’s largest and first ecological society, founded in 1913 and it published the first scientific journal in ecology, called The Journal of Ecology.
In the lead-up the 2023 British Ecological Society Annual Meeting in Belfast, Paul Bower, until recently Senior Development Manager with BES, offers a personal view on the challenges of communicating science and the value of international cooperation in finding solutions to the climate crisis. “Scientists will always, and have for thousands of years, found their way through political turmoil to work together”.
