INWEM Gender and Diversity Survey Prepared for IAEM 2010

Notes This is not a scientific survey and there are some design flaws. Known flaws:  USA centric questions  A couple of confusing questions  Diversity questions were added late Participants were limited to those people who had access to the Internet. No paper surveys were used. Hopefully this will become an annual survey and next year will be more scientific!
