DIYbio.org survey, win a free iPad/OpenPRC

[Dan]

Hello DIYers,

In the last few months, DIYbio and the community science movement have come under increasing scrutiny in policy circles. The attention rises from a spate of articles that paint citizen scientists as national security risks. I'm working in conjunction with DIYbio.org and the Wilson Center to dispell the misconceptions about the community.

We need 7-15 minutes of your time to take this survey in order to show the policymakers a more accurate portrait of the community.  As a perk, those who complete the survey will be in entered into a drawing for your choice of an OpenPCR or iPAD 2.

Click here to take the survey. (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/diybio)

Thanks again for your help!

I should also mention that some of the results will make their way into a Wilson Center report that has the potential to reach a lot eyes in government circles. This is our opportunity to show the world what we're about. I hope you'll help: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/diybio

Thanks,

Well, I've got an OpenPCR and I have zero interest in an iThing, but I
filled it out nonetheless. If I'm the lucky winner I can donate the
OpenPCR to a hackerspace, I guess! ;)

[Brim McCarthy]

I'm pretty new at all this, but I went ahead and filled it out to help the cause.

I do more art related work but I still spent some time over each answer. Thanks Daniel for putting this together.

Best,

Marnia

Thanks Marnia and Brim, and everyone else. Keep them coming! And thanks Cathal--I know some hackerspaces that would love an OpenPCR. I'm really intent that we get an accurate portrait of our community. Thanks, Dan

Thanks so much, Avery.  I hope we get as close as possible to a representative sample, so we all can have a better idea of shape of the community.  Participation by members of local groups is key, I think.

Indeed Avery, this the best way to touch the most active part of the community. Now forwarded to the French community!

I filled it out even though I have a really cheesy 80 buck PCR machine that I bought on eBay :)

Crossing my fingers for that PCR machine, it would be a godsend
