Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out our survey!

And thanks to everyone who worked hard crafting questions and making
sense of answers.

Final, big, giant thank you to Caroline Myrick for all her work on
survey design, data visualization, making sense of all the data we
collected, and for being a wonderful, tireless human being.
