Hello!

New questions were added to the EA survey to understand how people in the community are feeling about EA post the FTX collapse. Your response would be helpful! If you’ve already filled out the EA survey, you can take the extra questionnaire here. If not, here’s the EA survey. (Related post.) 

There are also three EA-Forum-specific announcements.
