Greetings,

The Scientist is conducting a survey of postdocs and we need your assistance.

We are looking to make this our most comprehensive survey of the 
current state of postdoc life, and you can help by spreading the 
word.  Please forward the message following the first URL below to 
the members of your organization and encourage them to participate in 
this survey.

An analysis of the results of our survey will be published in The 
Scientist's February 16, 2004 issue. All those who respond to our 
survey by Friday, December 12, 2003 will be entered in a drawing for 
a Canon PowerShot A70 Digital Camera.

Some postdocs find their positions rewarding, while others are 
dissatisfied and disillusioned. Where do you fall in the spectrum? 
Empowered or powerless? Well compensated or impoverished? Open 
communication or existing in a vacuum? Is your PI helpful or 
difficult?

Help us to help you and countless others by giving us your take on 
everything, from the quality of your training and mentoring to your 
compensation and social life.

Take the survey -- Make a difference and be heard!

Last year's survey, published in February 2003, has been widely read 
and quoted, and has helped many postdocs to measure the quality of 
their positions against others.  By bringing this survey to the 
attention of your peers, we can improve on this even further.

An analysis of the results of our survey will be published in The 
Scientist's February 16, 2004 issue. All those who respond to our 
survey by Friday, December 12, 2003 will be entered in a drawing for 
a Canon PowerShot A70 Digital Camera.

<<http://www.the-scientist.com/surveys/BPTW-Postdoc2004.htm>http://www.the-scientist.com/surveys/BPTW-Postdoc2004.htm>

Please let your fellow postdocs know about this survey... the more 
responses we receive the more valuable the results will be to 
everyone.

With best wishes,

The Scientist
