    Thanks for taking the time to get trained up and submit your first report, Kelly! What fun to find such a high diversity on your first go! Textbook report, with a clear view of all your findings and something in there for scale. Thanks for making our job easy over here and for your part in keeping the datasets quality high. Hope it was a nice time on the shore! -Lisa
