http://www.ucsusa.org/action/YSSsurvey.html ****************** Union of Concerned Scientists To whome it may concern, For 40 years, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) has been the leading science-based nonprofit working for a healthy environment and a safer world. We combine independent scientific research and citizen action to secure policies that protect and improve our environment and security. But we can’t do this important work without the involvement of the scientific community. That’s why UCS is initiating a new program to engage younger scientists in our work. We need your help to reach out to graduate students and post-docs, or other early career scientists. We are also reaching out to economists, engineers, and physicians who are just starting out in their careers, and encourage you to send this to colleagues in these fields of expertise as well. We have developed a short online survey to help us gather information about the needs and science policy interests of graduate students and post-docs. But we need YOUR help! Please forward this message to students you know or to any student groups or list serves that serve this population. If you are currently a graduate student or post-doc, please take a few moments to fill out the survey yourself. The survey is short and the results will not be shared with anyone outside UCS. The information we receive will help us integrate young scientists into the critical work that we do—with your help—to produce top-notch science and analysis and advocate for smart solutions for a healthy environment and safer world. Please take just a few minutes now to forward this email on to any young scientists you may know.
