Research page update

[matthewmccarthy11]

Issue #999, on updating the research community page.

Important to point out:

• The stuff on 'topics' that was deleted because it was redundant
• There is a 'research' page and a 'research community' page, and we should have a discussion on how both should be set up. The additions that I have made are on the 'research-community' page.
• Should we include the 'monthly forum' section? It isn't happening anymore, so it might be best to delete it, but wanted to check first before deleting it.
• I will be finishing a blog post by 1/23 or 1/24 on a 'research update' and we can potentially cross link both pages
