Proposed Instrument Master Name Change

Luca

• Lots of support for moving away from the word “master”

• Consensus for “Instrument Scientist” as the new term, less consensus for secondary position (“secondary” vs. “deputy”)

• Some databases contain the term (e.g. SIAS), so there are some places where the term may persist even after the publicly visible name is changed.

• The Instrument Master role is an internal term for a role. Is not an official term, so we can change this.
