This work has resulted in five publications (including nine undergraduate co-authors), various conference presentations, and other ongoing projects with another seven student collaborators (García Egan et al, 2014; Faherty et al, 2016; Ashdown and Buck, 2018; Ashdown et al, 2018; Rohner et al, 2019).…”
