Survey Design for Astronomical Research

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are part of a team of astronomers planning a public outreach program. Your goal is to design a survey that captures public interest in various astronomical topics, such as black holes, exoplanets, and dark matter. The survey should seek to understand the level of knowledge, preferred formats for receiving information (videos, articles, live talks), and topics that intrigue the public the most. Create a draft of your survey including at least 10 questions. Ensure that questions are clear, focused, and utilize a mix of multiple choice, open-ended, and scaled questions to effectively gather qualitative and quantitative data.
