Survey: Workplace Climate Toward Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Chemists

Chemical & Engineering News is working on an article exploring the workplace climate for chemists who identify as being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or questioning (LGBTQIQ). If you fall into any of these groups or you support them, we welcome you to participate in a brief survey to find out what your workplace experiences have been and how the climate has changed over the years.

Thank you in advance for assisting us. Your responses to the questions in this survey are completely voluntary, and any information you share with us is confidential. Feel free to skip questions you do not want to answer. The material may be used in an upcoming article in C&EN, and you may choose to not be identified by name or affiliation. No one will contact you about your answers, unless you specifically give permission for contact. Your data will be properly disposed of once the article is published. The deadline to participate is July 15. A randomly selected winner will receive a $50 Visa gift card.
