[MARINE_BIOLOGY_INTERNATIONAL] A Survey Request has been made to "M.B.I."

Dear Dr. Mann

The survey (details below) may be of interest to members of your Marine Biology International email discussion group. Can you consider posting this message? We are trying for a very diverse international group of science-qualified respondents.

Regards

***************************************

Why did you choose to study science?
Dr. Colin Hanbury at the University of Western Australia is conducting an international on-line survey as part of research on why people chose to study in science and science-related areas.

The survey is for anyone who completed tertiary science (and applied science) studies after leaving school – the greater the diversity of the respondents the better will be the results. You don't have to be currently working in science-related areas. If you want your country and discipline to be represented then please participate, and please send your friends and colleagues in science-related areas the survey link:

http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/409857/Science

All responses are anonymous and the individual responses will remain confidential. Following statistical analysis the overall results will be published during 2011. The report will be available as a PDF at http://www.communicatingscience.org/

If you would like to know more, then please contact Dr Colin Hanbury at colin.hanbury@uwa.edu.au (Phone +61 8 6488 2508), or Assoc. Prof. Nancy Longnecker at nancy.longnecker@uwa.edu.au (Phone +61 8 6488 3926).

Important points for you to consider
·         Most developed countries are witnessing falls in school students opting for science subjects and for university science-based courses; however, the trend is opposite in developing countries.
·         It is important for our combined social and economic future for people to be scientifically literate and for there to be sufficient well-qualified people to take up science-based occupations.
·         This survey will help us understand the issues related to students' selecting of science at school, and will enable comparisons across different cultures and countries.

Please answer the survey – it should take no longer than 15 minutes.
