New Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Award

awards
July 27, 2022July 27, 2022

At the ESBC we believe that all should be welcome and included in the entomological community. Sadly, in entomology, and STEM in general, this is not the case. As one step we are taking forward, the ESBC is pleased to announce our new Equity Diversity and Inclusion Award. We hope this award will help reduce some of the barriers faced by those historically excluded from entomology. Please apply!
