Our Place in Democracy: A Letter from the ESA President

Annapolis, MD; January 7, 2021 —To ESA members and the entomology profession at large: On behalf of the Governing Board of the Entomological Society of America, today I echo the chorus of shock and condemnation at yesterday’s violent assault on our nation’s democratic institutions. It is a heartbreaking day for the United States of America. As a scientific society, ESA cannot pursue its mission to improve the world through scientific progress when ongoing crises in American leadership create constant turmoil that hinders our members from doing their work or simply living their lives. The orderly and peaceful transit ion of power must be carried forward so that we can get our country back to work solving the critical problems we face.
