Excited to share a new survey being conducted by CSN graduate student @abbypigeon.bsky.social looking at how participating in science communication and outreach during graduate school affects post-graduate outlooks: umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

A recruiting flyer for a research study. Title: Effects of science communication and outreach in graduate school on post-graduate outlooks. Description: We are looking for participants for a study exploring how involvement in science communication and outreach during graduate school affects post-graduate career experiences! Participation in this research is open to anyone who has completed a PhD in chemistry or intends to complete one within the next year, regardless of whether you participated in science communication or outreach activities during graduate school. Eligibility: Either completed a PhD program in chemistry or a closely related field from a US academic institution or intends to complete one within the next year, 18+ years old. QR code for participation, contact info for questions, and logos for the University of Minnesota, the National Science Foundation, and the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology.
