SURVEY


Dear Colleague:

We are writing to request your participation in a survey of women in physics.  In conjunction with the Second International Conference on Women in Physics, the Statistical Research Center of the American Institute of Physics is conducting a second survey of women in physics.

Please click on this link to go to the survey http://www.aip.org/statistics/women .  You will be redirected to our secure server.  Your answers will be anonymous and will not be traceable to you.  All identifying information will be removed from your answers.  

We also conducted a survey before the first conference, and more than 1000 women in 55 different countries answered the questionnaire.  The results of the survey were published in the conference proceedings, and the report can be viewed at http://www.aip.org/statistics/trends/reports/iupap.pdf .  We hope to have many respondents to this second survey and will publish our findings in the new conference proceedings.

If you know of any women in physics who would be willing to answer this survey, please forward this message to them.  It is not necessary to attend the conference in order to answer the questionnaire.

Thank you for your help with this effort to reach many women physicists across the world.  If you have any questions, you may contact Rachel Ivie of the American Institute of Physics, rivie@aip.org.
