Hello! You recently joined the BCBioHacking Meetup group.
We are every excited to have you as part of our community.
Our group is run in a democratic manner, with organizers acting simply as facilitators of a group process.
This particular group is focused on using scientific methods for evaluating and assessinginformation and practices, with the emphasis on collecting and validating data in order tocontinuously improve. We see this methodology as being at the heart of what it means to engage inBioHacking.
In line with this rationale approach to creating and growing our community, you are strongly encouraged toparticipate and provide your opinions on the topics you most likely would like to hear about asthemes at upcoming events. We also need to evaluate members preferences for when to schedule Meetup's, how often to schedulethem, for what duration, in which locations, how to contact members, preferences for appetizers, and whatother types of activities might be of interest to the group.
We would also need to evaluate what resources members would like to donate, such as time, money,venues, information, expertise, so that we can leverage the existing technical skills, experience, wisdomwhich can harness their contributions, expand our horizons, and leverage their expertise to further enhanceour goals of radiating limitless energy, focus, health and flow in everything we do.
We are therefore asking you to complete the following short 20-30 minute survey (Either anonymouslyor not) that will help all of us better meet the needs of all members.
This survey will operate continuously until 9am on Monday 16, May 2016. Should you not able to complete it fully, simply close your browser, and restart where you left off at a latertime using the web link we have sent to you via email. You will also be able to go back in and change youranswers even when you have completed the survey. You may complete the survey more than once from asingle device.
