Two notable #womeninecology died recently. Soil ecologist Diana Wall (3/25/2024), #ESApres 1999; paleoecologist Margaret Bryan Davis (5/22/2024), #ESApres 1987.
Ecologist Sam McNaughton died Jan 18, 2024; known for research on large mammals and grazing ecosystems. Offering advice to students on communicating ecology, he wrote:
"If you can’t explain it to your parents and a general audience, you don’t know what you’re talking about."
Let's talk about IBP, the International Biological Program. In the US, ecologists explored five different biomes in depth during the late 60s and early 70s.
Does anyone out there have IBP memories to share?
"The new developments... introduced by IBP are the attempt to create computerized simulation models of ecosystem functions and... organization of scientists from a broad spectrum of interests into a cooperative effort, working together towards common ... goals." (Norton, 1974)

I share this remembrance of my friend and colleague, Diana Wall, in sadness but also in gratitude for the warm, generous, & infectiously enthusiastic, way that she lived and elevated her science. We remember her fondly. Diana H. Wall (1943–2024) | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
