[ASA] Impact of COVID-19 - please participate in this survey for scientists in Australia

[Lisa Kewley]

Greetings,

I'd like to ask astronomers to please participate in this anonymous survey on the impact of COVID-19 on scientists in Australia.  They need input from people from all circumstances (whether they have been impacted or not by COVID-19).  The more people that fill out the survey, the better the data will be.  This will be important for the considerations of promotions and recruitment committees Australia-wide.  The study has received ethics approval.  Please click on the link in the email below.

Cheers,
Lisa

Dear Lisa,



I hope you are well. 2020 has been a tough year, and particularly Victoria has been hard hit by lockdowns. I am writing to ask you to distribute our research survey to your contacts and mailing lists as we discussed.



The purpose of the survey is to gather data about the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on the research outputs and teaching effort of Australian scientists, based on their individual circumstances. The survey includes questions about number and ages of children, number of weeks of school from home, and the number of weeks away from workplaces, because we know that this varied a lot around Australia. We plan to use the data to understand the differences in impacts depending on role, location and family living situation.



Participation is voluntary and anonymous. The survey will be conducted in December each year for the next three years to capture on-going impacts, for example on publications and funding opportunities. Each year we will summarise the results of our survey in February, and send you an infographic that you can distribute to your members or display on your website.

Could you please forward the following link to your membership and encourage their participation.
