Thank you for posting our survey on Ecolog at the
end of July. It's been launched for just over six
weeks and we've had 437 respondents. We wanted to
leave it open for approx. eight weeks, so I
wanted to ask if you could re-post the letter and
link to the survey (pasted below). We don't want
individuals to respond twice, but expect that if
anyone sees the original letter or folks
involved, they would remember they already took this one!
Anyway, we'd greatly appreciate your help in
spreading the word about our survey again.
Thank you very much,
Peter
Dear Colleague,
We are conducting research on the science
communication patterns, styles, and expectations
of ecologists in various positons, including
government agencies, non-profits, academia, and
industry. Whether you communicate your science
with individuals or groups regularly,
occasionally, or not at all, we would greatly
appreciate 10 minutes of your time to assess how
and why we as ecologists engage (or not) with others about science.
Our study is being conducted through the
University of Hawaii along with the following
collaborators: Stacy Baez (Old Dominion
University), Lauren Garske (UC-Davis), Jennifer
Griffiths (Stockholm University), Emily Henry
(Oregon State University), Lesley Knoll (Lacawac
Sanctuary), Kevin Rose (UW-Madison), and Adrienne
Sponberg (ASLO) with funding support from NSF
(OCE08-12838). For more information, please
contact one or both of the principal
investigators: Drs. Paul Kemp (paulkemp @
hawaii.edu) or Peter Levi (plevi @ wisc.edu).
