I was asked to post this so I am passing it along:
Allen,
I am hoping that you would be willing to send out the following announcement at the
xericworld.com forum. It involves a serious research project that requires participants to take a brief survey. To maintain integrity of the survey, I prefer that my announcement be posted as is, including my name and institution. A brief endorsement stressing the importance of the survey will be okay. If you check out the survey, I think you'll approve of it. I'd be happy to answer questions if you have any. If you have any suggestions to offer on where else to post this for plant people, I'd love to know.
Here is the announcement to post:
___________
IMPORTANT SURVEY ON ATTITUDES TOWARD THE ENVIRONMENT AND CONSERVATION
Your help is needed! The Loma Linda University Center for Biodiversity and Conservation Studies is conducting a groundbreaking survey on attitudes toward the environment and conservation, particularly of those who love plants and animals. The results from this study, to be published in a professional journal, will contribute to our understanding of the role of plants and animals in society. Participants are urgently needed to complete the survey, which should take about 5-10 minutes of your time. Please click on the following link:
