Hello!
We at Superbloom <https://superbloom.design/> (formerly Simply Secure) are researching how *scientific open source software teams* understand, consider, and undertake usability and design initiatives in their projects. We *seeking responses to our survey <https://tools.simplysecure.org/survey/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=117891&newtest=Y&lang=en>,* which is an attempt to get a broad range of insights and opinions from the open source scientific software ecosystem. Our project is titled “Usable Software Ecosystem Research” or “USER” for short. We are investigating: * how norms in academic, science, and/or open source working environments affect the choices teams make around their users and different kinds of design interventions * how team dynamics and trust affects those choices * what teams would need to be interested in or able to prioritize usability in their work. This is a 35 question, ~20 minute survey aimed at understanding how and why scientific open source software projects do/do not think about usability and design. We are offering an optional $15 USD for your time via Tremendous gift card. → *Access the survey here ←* <https://tools.simplysecure.org/survey/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=117891&newtest=Y&lang=en> This research is funded by the Sloan Foundation. <https://sloan.org/> We will follow-up this survey with 30-50 hour-long interviews – if you are interested in participating in an interview, please complete the survey and indicate your interest at the end.
