Hey Folks,

what do you think about starting a survey to find out more about our backgrounds? Ravin could do a type of poll so we would get aggregate data. Example questions could include:

Scientific background:

- Business
- Engineering
- Math/Physics
- Computer Sciences
- Biology/Neuroscience/Chemistry
- Psychology
- Social Sciences

Employment status:

- Student
- Phd
- Industry
- NGO
- Self-Employment

…

Do you have any further suggestions for questions that you would find interesting?

One off the top of my head, Any prior causal inference experience?

Thank you @LarsKar for the idea and kicking this off!

Any other questions? If not I’ll start drafting a Google form to send out to the mailing list to get as many responses as we can!

@RavinKumar might as well ask for peoples github so you can hit their graphql user endpoint and see what languages / packages people are using. have an old script laying around for that if you want.

I work as a data scientist for a food retail/manufacturing company. Have worked as a statistician earlier. No prior causal experience, but, currently working on a project for assessing the causal effect on sales for certain ad campaigns.
