[web-team] Fwd: UC Study on STEM Professionals - SVLUG

[Robin Savinar]

To SVLUG Officers,

I write to follow up on a query regarding a University of California
research project about the careers of STEM professionals (see details
below).

I would love to speak to someone from SVLUG to explain the study, and why
SVLUG's participation is important.

Many thanks for your consideration.

All best,

Robin

Dear Andrew, Paul and SVLUG Webmaster,


I am Robin Savinar, the Principal Investigator for a UC Davis study about
the career trajectories of science and technology professionals in the
greater San Francisco Bay Area.

I write to ask if you would share information about the study with the
SVLUG community. Empirical research comparing the professional outcomes
across various sub-fields within STEM is needed to understand which areas
offer the best opportunities for advancement, compensation, etc. We want to
compare these outcomes across gender, race/ethnicity and immigration-status.


Since Linux programmers and other profesionals are an important part of
STEM in Santa Clara and San Francisco, we to make sure your perspectives
are represented.

One component of our research is a brief online survey about employment.*
If you are amenable to sharing the survey link I would send you a short
announcement to circulate to members.*

This study has been approved by UC Davis’ Institutional Review Board.
Participation in the survey is completely voluntary and all responses will
be kept confidential. No personally identifiable information will be
associated with responses in any reports of this data.

I appreciate your consideration and am happy to answer any questions.
