Queer in STEM: LGBTQ in STEM: Who are we? -

iamlittlei:

To begin to answer those questions, we’ve initiated this online survey of LGBTQ folks working in STEM. If you’re queer, have completed at least a bachelor’s or technical degree, and are working in STEM in any capacity — grad school, the tenure track, corporate R&D, the nonprofit sector, or science communication — we want to hear from you, and we need your help to collect a comprehensive sample.

You can take the survey and learn how to help spread the word right here. Thanks in advance!

This paper in Statistical Science literally starts out with “Survey weighting is a mess.”

NO KIDDING. I swear I could be done with this PhD in like, three years if it weren’t for survey weighting.

(In which Richard whines about stupid things that are plaguing him right now.)
