Abstract
The graduate student debates at the Entomological Society of America's Annual Meeting encourage graduate students to become active participants in the broader scientific and policy debates that affect entomology and provide a forum to raise the awareness among all entomologists of timely issues affecting science and society. Initiated in 1993 by Doctors George Kennedy and Fred Gould, the debates are now organized for the annual meeting by the Student Affairs Committee. Summary statements from previous debates on such topics as environmental issues associated with enhancing the impact of biological control agents (Gould et al. 1996) and on issues in ecologically sound integrated pest management (Whitaker 1998) have been published in this forum. Other debates have addressed issues related to pesticidal transgenic plants, conservation of insect biodiversity, and professional ethics.
