My
name is Celeste Wells, and I am a Ph.D. student conducting my dissertation
research on bioanalytical and analytical chemists in the U.S. As a member
of ALMA you are likely an ideal individual for this research and participating
will only take a few minutes. It is my belief that, as scientific
professions, analytical and bioanalytical chemistry have been understudied.
In my research, I would like to address this gap.

Above
is a link to a short online survey that will ask you about your profession as
well as how various demographics may or may not relate to your
occupation. As a participant you will remain anonymous; you are not asked
to identify past or current employers nor any information regarding any
research or projects with which your organizations or partners are involved.
To be clear, this survey is not concerned with who you work for or the
research you conduct, it is focused on understanding the fields of analytical
and bioanalytical chemistry and thus asks a broad range of questions about
being a chemist and your experiences working in this occupation. The survey
does not maintain your IP address. The first half of the survey focuses
on your impressions of the field and occupation. The second half of the
survey is a previously validated survey and will ask you about your opinions
regarding diversity at work.
In
the survey, you will be asked if you are willing to participate in an optional
follow-up interview about being a chemist. Agreeing to this aspect would
be very beneficial for my research, but it is completely voluntary. If
you choose this option you are only required to give minimum information (such
as first name and phone number) for contact purposes and this information is
separated from your data once it is submitted.
Again,
I am extremely appreciative of your help. As I am sure you know,
developing a participant pool is difficult work and thus it means a lot to
receive your assistance. In addition, because I am concerned with
achieving adequate power in this study, I would welcome and appreciate you
sending this link to any friends or colleagues engaged in analytical or
bioanalytical chemistry work.
Thank
you again!
Sincerely,
Celeste
