Is the economy bouncing back? Last year's survey showed a dip in salaries for the first time in The Scientist's Salary Survey 10-year history. But what will this year's results tell us?

Take 5 minutes to fill out this year's Salary Survey, and check back in November for the results. We'll break it down by life science specializations, geographic location, degree, job title and more. The more responses we get, the more robust and current the data will be. So fill out the survey today, and encourage your friends to do so as well.
