Thesis page is broken

[alexsb]

The advisor and the download button is floating around:

Generally, this could use a little love.

I never did a design for a thesis page. My guess is that the current broken view is a result of CSS from the rest of the site being re-used here without anybody having updating the CSS to handle the additional html content on thesis pages.

If no one else tackles it first, I could take a stab after I have a dissertation to put on there too. If you have any expected or desired results, feel free to highlight them as well.

I've been thinking about merging this with regular publications and using one (slightly adapted) layout for both. There are only a few special fields I guess, like thesis_type and advisors. Institution could be the publisher.

But I'm also fine with keeping it separate.

I agree with Alex, to me it should follow a similar design/layout as a regular publication. The main block would be "Abstract", "Advisor", "Citation". In the right sidebar one image, and under "Resources" add the link to download the thesis. @Alex: what do you mean by thesis_type? Bachelor/Master/Phd?

[alexsb]

Yes, I was referring to the differences with regards to the YAML headers of a thesis and a publication:
