Hello,

We are conducting a study of science hobbyists as part of a National
Science Foundation Grant.  We need your help getting the request to
participate out to your organization.

Would you be willing to either send the study information below to the
members of the BEE-L list (via email or newsletter)?

If you are willing to send this information to your membership, please

Are you a science hobbyist?

We need your help with a new National Science Foundation sponsored research
study that will investigate the characteristics and educational experiences
of people who are active in science hobbies. More and more people are
engaging in science hobbies; schools and science centers would like to know
more about the characteristics of science hobbyists and how these
organizations might better support hobbyists’ networking and education.

What will happen if you take part in the study?

The information gained from this research can help science educators and
researchers understand how to better teach science in schools and museums,
and how to design better community-based science programs. Participation in
this study is voluntary. Information you provide will be anonymous. If you
complete the survey, you may elect to enter a drawing for a $100 Target
gift card.
