Who Works At Think Tanks, And Is There Diversity?

Think tanks are sources for deeply-researched policy papers and studies.

Some are partisan — on the right or left — and others make it clear they’re trying to be unbiased and simply present information. But who works at think tanks? Who’s compiling that information? And is there diversity?
