Subscribers around the world

Since the creation of the list on 5th May 2020, over 200 researchers in Biological Fluid Dynamics around the world have joined. Initial uptake was very fast, with 124 of our current members having joined by the end of May 2020; new subscribers have joined continuously since, growing the main list (BIOACTIVEFLUIDS) to 225 members at the time of writing. The early career researcher list (BIOACTIVEFLUIDS-ECR) also has over 40 members, with a few overlaps.

The data below were aggregated from the main list on 14th July 2021. The top-level domain of subscriber email addresses (.uk, .edu etc.) can be used to give an imperfect, but quick, indication of where list members are based. 'Not known' indicates the use of a .com address. To protect anonymity, countries/continents with fewer than 5 subscribers are aggregated.

Continent

Most subscribers are from Europe (55%), followed by North America (27%), with 7% from the rest of the world. 12% could not be determined from email domain.

Country

Breaking down by country (where there are more than 5 subscribers) provides some more detail. Unsurprisingly given the origins of the network, the highest representation is from the UK (36%), although a further 19% are from other European nations, in particular France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and Italy. Despite the difference in timezone, (at least) 3% of subscribers are from Japan!
