*This messages is being forwarded on behalf of the organisers. Do scientists pay out-of-pocket to be researchers? Geographers, please take our surveyþ Dear Geographers, Most of science is funded by research grants or other financial contributions that support science. However, sometimes, researchers may pay out-of-pocket for expenses that are never reimbursed. We are investigating whether this practice (using personal funds to pay for research expenses) is commonplace. If so, what types of things do we spend our personal funds on? If you are an active scientist over the age of 18, please consider taking our survey. We hope that by collecting data on this topic, we will start a conversation on this important issue. Our objective is to analyze and present these results within a scientific publication. The survey link, as well as information on informed consent, is here: http://goo.gl/forms/ZAtzAqGRMw You can read more about the motives and goals for our research here: http://news.sciencemag.org/funding/2015/04/survey-asks-how-much-personal-cash-do-you-spend-your-science We appreciate all participants, and encourage you to circulate this survey within your professional networks. All data will be completely anonymous, and we do not ask any questions that will enable your responses to be personally identifiable. If you have any questions for us, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Edward Hind or Dr. Brett Favaro at [log in to unmask] Best regards Dr. Edward HindDr. Brett Favaro _______________________________________________________ [log in to unmask] An urban geography discussion and announcement forum List Archives: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/URB-GEOG-FORUM Maintained by: RGS-IBG Urban Geography Research Group UGRG Home Page: http://www.urban-geography.org.uk
