There are 329 respondents. That’s probably around 10% of regular readers. Most are male: Diverse ways people found this website: Most people speak English, then Hindi and Tamil (the 8%).

2019 reader survey
I think I’m going to do another reader survey. Whenever I do people complain that I didn’t ask this question or that. To preempt that I’m putting up this post where you can submit your question so you won’t complain later.
2019 Brown Pundits Reader survey
“I am human, and I think nothing human is alien to me.” -Terrence One of the strange things is the comments on this weblog make it seem like many more of the readers are South Asian than is really case (or care about the India-Pakistan conflict). I wish more of you would speak. I’m brown, but …
Results of 2018 Reader Survey
There was a comment below about who the readers are of this weblog. One thing that is clear is that people who comment are not necessarily representative.
Limiting the sample to those who have American (USA) nationality:

Reader survey, 2017 results
Every few years I do a reader survey. Below are results without cross-tabs (well, with a couple of exceptions) or any deeper analysis. I’ll probably do some follow-ups in the next month or so. This gender proportion has been pretty constant. When I was at Discover I think the female percentage went up to 15%. […]
Further survey results
I have now reformatted the responses into a csv file. So you can do something boring like create a scatterplot with Excel, as above. Or, you can import into R and dig for more interesting patterns. Here is an updated to the PDF which shows you the sim…
Gene Expression Brave New World Survey
A few weeks ago I mentioned that I wanted do another survey. I’ve done a fair number of reader surveys since the mid-2000s of my readership. So, for example, I know that you’re politically well balanced, except for social conservatives (who…
Survey on genetics knowledge
A regular issue that comes up on this weblog is that many of my posts are difficult to understand. I am aware of this. Unfortunately a problem is that there is a wide variation in fluency in genetics knowledge among the readership. To get a better sense I have created a survey with 60+ questions. […]
Survey on personal genomics
Just got this email, and I thought I would share with my readers: I’m a biologist from Germany and together with 2 fellow biologists I’m currently working on a project that evaluates the sharing of raw data from DTC-genetic-testing companie…
Who knows heritability and what do they know
Heritability is a fraught topic. It comes up repeatedly on this weblog, but even long time readers can be confused as to its implications, as evidenced by the incorrect inferences made from their own understanding of the concept. The most common proble…
Summer 2011 Gene Expression Reader Survey
I’ve been taking surveys of the readership of this weblog since 2004. Here is my last one, from the summer of 2010. Before I moved to Discover I also did one in the winter of 2010. Here’s a reader survey from the winter of 2009. Another fr…
Reader Survey, summer 2010
So that reader survey that I mentioned last week is done. I’m mostly interested in seeing the changes since I’ve moved to Discover from ScienceBlogs. I assume that the standard 85% male readership has shifted somewhat toward more balance, but I don’t know. Many of the basic demographic questions (sex, race, age, etc.) are the […]
Reader survey results: Science vs. social science vs. humanities
About six months ago I did a survey of the readership of my two Gene Expression blogs (before moving to Discover). The N was around 600. You can view the raw frequency results here. One of the issues which I was curious about: did the disciplinary background of readers have any major correlates with responses? […]
Who are you….
Edmund Yong has rebooted the “Who are you?” meme. I’ll quote him:
So let’s do it again. In the comments below, tell me who you are, what your background is and what you do. What’s your interest in science and your involvement with it? How did you come to this blog, how long have you been […]
Gene Expression Survey
That time of the year. Please take the Gene Expression Survey. I’ll put up the analysis and the csv file next week. I have the usual questions, but also added a few more that might seem a bit weird. There are 30 questions total, and you don’t need to a…
