The Impact of This Week in Parasitism on the Public Understanding of Science

Hey TWiPpers, want to help make TWiP the best scientific resource around? Dr. Christina Naula, one of the hosts of This Week in Parasitism, a MicrobeTV-produced podcast featuring Dr. Daniel Griffin and other members of Parasites Without Borders, is conducting a survey-based study to learn more about how TWiP contributes to your scientific literacy and trust in science. We want to know from our listeners – who are you and why TWiP? The survey is anonymous and does not collect any personal data, but it does ask questions that help us learn more about our core listeners. This, in turn, will help Christina and the team create the content you want to hear. This isn’t just an informal question-and-answer. It is an academically sound study, reviewed and approved by the University of Glasgow College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences Ethics Committee (application 200250013). The study findings will be presented on an upcoming TWiP episode, as well as presented at professional conferences and published in relevant academic journals. We want to hear from you!
