Survey

iPlant is by and for the community. It is extremely important for us to hear from our colleagues about what works for them and what doesn't.
We'd also like to what computational bottlenecks in your investigations are possible challenges you think iPlant should target for developing
community-scale solutions.We want to know how you found the workshop, and what you would like to see iPlant do, so please answer the
survey you will receive by email post workshop.
