<div style="height:auto; min-height:auto">Dear Cathryn,<br>
<br>
Each year, Science & Technology Australia and Professionals Australia invite our workforce to
<a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/nY2hC4QOPEiBrxnVqiOtY_e?domain=surveymonkey.com">participate in the annual Professional Scientist Employment and Remuneration Survey</a>.<br>
<br>
The 2021 survey will offer a crucial set of insights of the impact of COVID-19 on Australia’s scientific workforce.<br>
<br>
The snapshot of pay and employment conditions also informs ongoing advocacy and engagement with Government, policymakers and the Australian public.<br>
<br>
The more scientists who participate, the more comprehensive and meaningful these results will be.<br>
<br>
We ask you to please share this survey as widely as you can with your members and through your professional networks of scientists.<br>
<br>
Feel free to use the blurb below:<br>
<br>
