'The Business of Ecology' symposium

Trainees Meredith Niles and Noam Ross conceived of, planned, and hosted a symposium, "The Business of Ecology: Private Sector Collaboration and Career Opportunities." The day-long symposium featured panels with presentations by guest speakers, a moderated discussion, and extended Q&A session with the audience. The first panel, "Business Models for Ecological Knowledge and Business-Researcher Collaborations," included speakers from consulting firms and a land management organization. The second, "Career Paths For Ecologists in the Private Sector," included staff from non-governmental organizations, a utility company, and an organic vineyard. Participants included trainees and trainers from the REACH IGERT, faculty and students in UC Davis' Conservation Management program, and other interested graduate students.
