Really inspiring morning at #ESA2025 with a welcome by @phytobio.me inviting us to think about "Laulima" from the Hawaiian culture which translates to "many hands working together". Encouraging ESA community to collaborate, be kind, work as a team, support each other.

I strongly recommend #ESA2025 @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social to post their updates equally across all platforms. You are bringing the society together, don’t alienate us across platforms. Bring us together everywhere. Theme of the meeting! Many of us stopped using, not comfortable w “other X site”.
The staff is migrating up to Baltimore for the next week and looking forward to seeing you all! Keep an eye on #ESA2025 on the *other site* for updates.
