Excited to have this Element on adaptive surveys with @erinrossiter finally out. Check out this thread for more information

@AJPS_Editor Let's also take a moment to celebrate what these amazing young scholars have accomplished in even getting this far. These four (and really all students on the market this year) came to school just in time for Covid to turn the world upside down. I, for one, am in awe.
