Dear members and friends of the Ecological Society of America (ESA): This survey is relevant to all ecologists, especially those engaged in interdisciplinary research. In celebration of the Centennial of ESA, a team of doctoral students at UNC Chapel Hill are conducting a study to assess the state of interdisciplinary research and scholarship inside and outside of the academy (IRB #15-0821). The results of this study will be shared at an upcoming workshop convened as part of the 100th Meeting of the Ecological Society of America. Results are intended to help workshop organizers identify the challenges and rewards that interdisciplinary ecologists encounter. Click here<http://eco.confex.com/eco/2015/webprogram/Session10676.html> for more information about this ESA plenary workshop and how you can still register (Aug 8th @ 306 Baltimore Convention Center).
We welcome participation from ecological researchers at all career levels. The link to this online survey will take 15 minutes to complete. The survey link will remain active until July 15, 2015.
