The ESA 2018 Annual Meeting in Vancouver will host the first ever “P-IE Student Symposium,” titled “Pollinator and Invasive Species Science Policy Field Tours: A Melting Pot of Efforts Promoting Protection of our Food Supply.” This symposium will recap knowledge and experiences gained from the tours and build upon the two P-IE initiatives: Science Policy Field Tours about Pollinators. The 2018 tours will bring together scientists from academia and private sectors, government representatives, science policy advocates, and policymakers to talk and understand key actions and resources to promote pollinator health and counteract effects of invasive species. This symposium aims to share the main lessons and achievements from both tours, and parallel endeavors in society on pollinator health and invasive species.
