A quick site refresh (and what’s next)

I made a big round of updates to the website this week; mostly focused on making it easier (and more fun) to explore my work, the people I’ve learned from, and the projects I’m excited about.
If you’ve visited before, a few things should feel noticeably cleaner:
- Publications are easier to browse (plus a research word cloud to quickly see themes across papers).
- Collaborators and trainees are now visualized on interactive maps, and you can scrub through time to see how those connections grew.
- Scientific Art and Pictures are now set up as galleries so I can keep adding images without rebuilding pages by hand.
Under the hood, I also tightened things up so the site loads faster (the big interactive maps now wait to render until you scroll to them), and the repo is better documented so future-me can remember how everything works.
Next, I’m planning to keep swapping in better images and polishing the small details that make a site feel “finished”; the kind of improvements you only notice when they’re missing.
