Editing content

• News — edit _data/news.yml. Each entry takes sort (higher is newer), date_year, date_month (Roman numeral), title, and optional body, link, link_label. No HTML required beyond light inline tags in body.

• Research interests — edit _data/research.yml.

• Profile photo — replace assets/img/hm_beach.jpeg with any portrait photo, then run:

  pip install Pillow
  python scripts/process_image.py

  This regenerates assets/img/hm_beach_bw.jpg (the landscape B&W hero). Crop ratios live at the top of the script.
