We are interested to see how COVID-19 is affecting your research. We plan to use the answers from this survey to help inform how we represent and support the molecular bioscience community and to contribute to our ongoing policy work. This may include sharing views from our community with our partner organisations. Any views shared with partner organisations will be done so anonymously. We are seeking views from the whole community, you do not need to be a member to answer.

You do not need to answer every question and all answers will remain anonymous. By completing this survey you are happy to share your views with the Biochemical Society to inform our policy work including the sharing of views with our partner organisations and/or Government bodies.

We appreciate the approaches taken by different countries have varied and different countries are at different stages of the pandemic. Although these questions were originally written from the point of view of the UK, we are keen to seek views from the global molecular bioscience community so that we can try to identify solutions and share learning from different approaches.
