Thanks Jeff. I'm actually Ruaridh's SoN mentor, and we've been discussing
visualization ideas. His project is a nice complement to Cerebro 2, since
it offers visualizations of features over time. He was mentioning maybe
even making one of the visualization functions in his project actually open
up Cerebro 2 for a detailed look.

I'm excited to see all these visualization ideas becoming a reality! It
will be very useful for working with the CLA.
