Good afternoon! I’m sharing this survey request on behalf of a UBC PhD candidate, researching communication about microbial diversity. We would really appreciate if you have a moment to complete the survey outlined below. Thank you!

________________________________

Greetings,

I am a PhD candidate exploring how to effectively communicate topics in microbial diversity to a broad audience. For part of this work, I am asking how museums and similar institutions have historically exhibited microbes (especially protists) to the public.

We would greatly appreciate your institution’s input via a questionnaire<https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8cr5oXcklIrliaa>, which should take approximately 10–20 minutes to complete:
https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8cr5oXcklIrliaa

For the survey, we ask that a representative from your institution reports broadly on past programs your institution has developed around microbes and asks to highlight one in particular. Responses can be saved and returned to at any time before submission.

Your response would be incredibly valuable to this research, and we thank you in advance for your time and contribution.
If you have any questions, please contact me at lilith.south at ubc.ca<mailto:lilith.south at ubc.ca>.

Sincerely,
Lilith South
