<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-indent:0in;line-height:normal;color:black"><font face="garamond, times new roman, serif">We are a research
team from Carnegie Mellon University, the Santa Fe Institute, and Johns Hopkins
University. We are conducting a study that explores how scientists
reason about research findings. Your insights as a psychological scientist would be essential for this
research, and we invite PhD students, postdocs, research scientists and faculty
to participate.</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-indent:0in;line-height:normal;color:black"><font face="garamond, times new roman, serif">The study involves
completing one online survey (approximately 20 - 40 minutes). In the survey,
you will be invited to read a series of research findings and provide judgments
about them, explain them, and reflect on possible follow-up studies that could
be conducted to better understand these findings. Your participation will help
advance our understanding of how scientists reason about and build on prior
research findings.</font></p>

entirely voluntary, and your responses will remain anonymous. To thank you for
your time, you will be compensated with a $30 Amazon Gift Card following
completion of our survey. </font></p>
