Note added February 2024: We recently removed the photo albums that had been included on many of the site visit pages. As part of our value of considerateness, our goal is to share photos of people only if they gave informed consent for their image to be used. We had not developed an image policy at the time of the site visits, and we wanted to remove those older photos that likely did not meet our new, higher standards.
