We are currently using the terms “participant” and “subject” interchangeably. I propose we make the names homogeneous. In order to afford better extendability with preclinical research, the term “subject” would be significantly more apt.

This change would include renaming the
participants.tsvfile tosubjects.tsv, and theparticipant_idcolumn in said file tosubject.Original authors: @TheChymera
