At some point we all take time to consider our career paths and choices. We have found that there is little data on plant science related career paths, as well as a lack of data about the careers that plant biologists want. With this survey we intend to gather your input so that we can start the conversation and work toward providing targeted tools and resources to support plant science professionals and to help them navigate their career.

This survey is anonymous unless you indicate that you would like us to contact you. Either way, we plan to analyze and share the aggregated data publicly after the end of the collection period.

Survey collection Period: February 13th - March 16th

By filling out this survey, you will provide the community with information and insights on career options and possibilities for a plant science professional in the 21st century.

If you have questions about this survey, please feel free to reach out to us directly via info@aspb.org.
