If you haven't done so yet, you can still answer here. None of = the questions are mandatory, so if you want, you can just add a comment. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelcFjSXmURpN3fV3vQUUYvmTorqgEoJFH= eS_6o6jjWA8j0dw/viewform?usp=3Dheader I will leave the survey open until the end of this month, but you can see t= he temporary results here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ucoehl-7G0CQAkHjqWSPHMfS4Ay023KC26Ed8iC= ahuM/edit?usp=3Dsharing It is a Google Doc that allows you to add a comment. So feel free to add an= ything, to criticize the method, to reject the paper, or anything that will= make you feel better. I won't comment on the results here, to respect the wishes of some people w= ho don't want to read anything unrelated to the non-linearity of the basila= r membrane, but I will just leave you with a quote from one of the particip= ants: "I am terrified!" Happy Monday everyone. Bisous, Jeremy PS: Sorry, I needed to resend this message due to some format issue, from m= y side. ________________________________ De : Jeremy Paul Donald Marozeau <jemaroz@xxxxxxxx> Envoy=E9 : dimanche, 6 avril 2025 13:18 =C0 : AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx <AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx> Objet : Re: Silence from leaders in auditory science [please let us move on= , hopefully we will] Dear Friends and colleagues, I think it is really important to openly discuss any topics, but it saddens= me to see this discussion moving toward division and confrontation. It's important to respect each other's opinions and try to understand them = better. Personally, I have some strong ones, mostly based on highly biased = media that I follow (I get most of my US news from Stephen Colbert and John= Stewart. Yes, it is biased, but at least I'm having fun). Anyway, it's time we act as scientists studying human perception. Based on = our biased observations, let's make hypotheses, collect data, and draw conc= lusions that may or may not require action. Based on what I've observed, I've formulated three hypotheses: 1. The US government will prevent some of us from studying specific topics. 2. Some researchers feel that their career development is impacted by this pol= icy. 3. Non-US citizens feel uneasy attending conferences in the US. If any of these hypotheses are supported, it places responsibility on resea= rchers from Non-US countries to: * Focus on the research topics our US colleagues cannot study; * Help out by reaching those in need; * Host international conferences outside the US. To test these hypotheses, I've created a Google form with simple, specific = questions and some open-ended questions for additional thoughts (instead of= the auditory list). https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelcFjSXmURpN3fV3vQUUYvmTorqgEoJFH= eS_6o6jjWA8j0dw/viewform?usp=3Dheader [https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pig5KzKvID57Sykiwfiii-JQDJpaIhsjioqL2eiM= Kco2IuHKRN42aYukMDU0xOiVpUmPKN6mob2CIs4=3Dw1200-h630-p]<https://docs.google= .com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelcFjSXmURpN3fV3vQUUYvmTorqgEoJFHeS_6o6jjWA8j0dw/vie= wform?usp=3Dheader> Auditory Survey<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelcFjSXmURpN3fV3v= QUUYvmTorqgEoJFHeS_6o6jjWA8j0dw/viewform?usp=3Dheader> The questionnaire was created to collect data on auditory scientists' perce= ptions of how US policy affects their work.
