These are some general ideas about the main landing page,

Is there a cleaner font that we could use for the title? The thing I don't entirely like is how the dots on the i's dance above the l in Facility (I know it is a detail, but is bugging me, haha :-)
can we make the buttons smaller and remove the "Play" by the recent research (just text is fine)
when the page is too narrow, we the menu disappears, and there isn't a way (at least that I could see) to navigate to other pages. Could a hamburger menu be added?

@lheagy we can either revert to the same font as the body or use any font that you like from https://fonts.google.com/ I have removed "tight" letter spacing from the title, in case that helps? font weight is also currently "black" which is heaviest, this could be dialed back to bold or semibold

@lheagy play button is gone and buttons are smaller...

re: hamburger menu - we are missing that on sites just now - it will be added soon!

Thanks @stevejpurves! Removing the tight makes a big difference. I appreciate all of your help 🚀

@lheagy here are some of the ideas I was thinking about the main page.

About us page/section: something like what we have on the older website. I also noticed a lot of the labs have made separate pages for PhD, masters, alumni people, if we wanna do something like that.
Contact us information on the bottom of page (or each page maybe). Something like this
