PIs of BlueSky! PhD application question (because times have changed since 2018): If you know that a PI is accepting grad students this cycle, it still worth emailing them prior to applying? Or is that practice more outdated now?

We are looking for volunteers to complete an online questionnaire about perceptions of terms used in and by the LGBTQ+ community, particularly terms that some find stigmatising, but others have reclaimed.

Identify as LGBTQ+ (or as an identity or identities under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, e.g. gay man, lesbian, trans woman, non-binary, etc.)
Are at least 18 years of age
Currently live in the UK
