2. Have your say! Take the PAGES survey
In case you missed it last month, PAGES has put together a survey to assess how scientists perceive PAGES and to identify its importance in their careers. All questions are optional and all answers are anonymous. Responses will be used as a basis for PAGES’ future goals and objectives. Read more and access the survey here: http://pastglobalchanges.org/news/all-news-items/9-latest-news/1699-pages-survey-2017
