Citing pyro

You are free to use this code and the accompanying notes in your classes. Please credit “pyro development team” for the code, and please make a post to the pyro github discussions describing how you use it, so we can keep track of it (and help justify the development effort).

If you use pyro, please cite the pyro JOSS paper and the latest Zenodo DOI.
