Dear Herpetological News Friends;
If you have found my modest news-collation efforts of interest over the past months, I’ll ask you to please consider doing a favour for me.
Alexia Fry of Australia is undertaking a unique herp-related web-survey as part of her doctoral thesis. I’d like to support Ms Fry as best I can, and I encourage each of you to go to the Deakin University website given below to read in details about Ms Fry’s efforts and requirements. If it’s of interest to you, please contribute. I’m making a special request to my news-friends in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Spain, Holland and Russia to consider participating in the poll if they are comfortable enough in their English-language ability to participate. Ms Fry is attempting to create a global-snapshot of the herpetological community – professional and amateur.
I would take your consideration of your participation as a personal favour.
In the doctoral candidates own words …
My name is Alexia Fry and I am undertaking this research as my PhD project in sociology through Deakin University in Australia.
I would like to invite you to find out more about the global herpetological community and to be a part of the research process by completing the websurvey at this website http://www.deakin.edu.au/arts/herpetological.
In addition, if you are comfortable with what you will read about my project, I would really appreciate your support in disseminating it through any other avenues that you have available to you that reach people with herpetological interests.
…
Thank you for your kind attention;
I now return you to your regular programming;
Respectfully
Wes
