Dear ecologgers:
I'm a doctoral candidate in Mathematics Education at the University
of Texas, Austin, conducting a study on biologists’ use of math to
identify the main mathematical and statistical tools currently used in
the field. The results of the study would help to inform the graduate
and undergraduate curriculum in Biology and Mathematics—as well as the
curriculum of related training programs outside of academia—so that they
would better align to student needs at their future workplace.
The first part of the study consists of an online survey designed
for biologists (from the areas of ecology, evolution, and behavior and
developmental biology) that was piloted by faculty members and students
at UT Austin, and has an average completion time of 9 minutes. I am
emailing to ask for your participation in the survey.
I can offer no compensation but I would be happy to share the
results of the study, and make you eligible to win one of four $25
Amazon gift cards—I know is not really not much, I am limited to a very
small budget. The online survey is completely anonymous; you will just
need to click on the link below to take it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to consider my request, and
please let me know if you have any further questions.
