It's been a thrill to turn this idea into a public resource with colleagues across the Lab. Special thanks to @connacher_ , who leads the project, along with @therealcko, Susan Young, and Matty Smith — and to the many researchers behind it, including @NelaRichardson, @BharatKChandar, @RuyuChen, @Andrew Wang, @pawtrammell, and @I_Am_NickBloom.
