Wanted: Female Amateur Astronomers

We value your input!

by Judy Koke and Laura Danly

As part of a research project in public astronomy education, we're gathering data on the interests, attitudes, and experiences of female amateur astronomers — especially, but not exclusively, those who belong to an astronomy club.

The survey takes no longer than 10 minutes to complete. It can be found at this URL:

“Hell, I'd be happy to have the one you pretend yours is.

“bite sounds so harsh.”

“"tooth it gently" ;-)”
