Social Studies of Science, 4S,

The present is a polite reminder of the request contained in the message
below.  We will be very grateful if you could complete the short
questionnaire on the use of units of measure in various research domains.

The entry for 4S may be found in the Google doc at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TH9cP_3MYPeQaGXnPElVukJb1x-zXCN9U_Q2IX6Bp34/edit#heading=h.3lsk1r5bo4cc
-
alternatively you may use the word doc attached.

A number of international Scientific Unions and Societies have completed
the questionnaire and you may wish to peruse their entries for guidance.
We believe the eight questions of the survey should only take 20-30 minutes
to complete.  It would help us enormously if you could complete this by
Friday 4 June.

With very best wishes,

Simon.
