<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">You are invited to participate in The Scientific Realism Project by completing an online questionnaire. The aim of this study is to see whether scientists from different disciplines
think differently about different aspects of the objectivity of science and to see how well scientists’ opinions about these matters match those of philosophers of science.<br>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">You will be asked to indicate the extent to which you agree or disagree with a variety of statements about the nature of science. This will be followed by a few demographic questions.
Your participation in this study should take approximately 5 minutes.<br>
