Catherine Cavanagh Thank you so much to the 12 readers who entered this poll. It has been very helpful. I will now work on writing a bio in the first person.
However I won't be closing the poll just yet, because the statistician in me would love a larger sample size, and because I hope for some comments which will help me understand the reasoning behind your choices.
