Dear colleagues,

You are all invited to participate in a survey assessing attitudes towards women in forest entomology and pathology coordinated by Drs. Jess Hartshorn (Clemson University, USA), Maartje Klapwijk (SLU, Sweden), Mariella Marzano (Forest Research, UK), and Eckehard Brockerhoff (WSL, Switzerland).

The purpose of this survey is to assess current attitudes towards women in forest entomology and pathology and to identify gaps in support available to women in these fields. The entire survey should take around 15 minutes and you may stop at any time.

To access the survey, follow this link:

Results from this survey are expected to help institutions and scientific societies identify areas of improvement to support women in these fields. If you have any questions or concerns about this survey please contact Dr. Jess Hartshorn at jhartsh@clemson.edu.

Thank you,
