P.S. I will also present this work later this summer at CogSci @cogsci_soc in Rotterdam! If you are curious before then, check out our paper and/or send me an email with your thoughts. :)

Finally, it's been a real joy to get to work with the COGGRAPH organizing committee: @annekharrington @judyefan @katie_m_collins @kushin_m @ArnavVerma0_0, Sean Anderson, and Chris Kymn. They've been hard at work for almost 6 months now, planning a truly one-of-a-kind workshop! :)
