*“Response” is taken from participant response to a question about their primary field of work. “Group” is generalised for purposes of comparison in this study, though we acknowledge some participants may identify with both groups. An “other” field was present for those who did not identify with a particular field. However, all responses with an “other” specification also chose a primary field from those provided (e.g., a “statistician” in the physical/chemical/earth sciences).
**For the purposes of this study, a “scientist” is a scientist who specialises in the physical, chemical, or earth sciences.
