It sounded like this needs to be brainstormed and outlined a bit before adding... need to figure out content, layout, etc.

Another hope was to add some fun images to the page. One thought is to embed the group's Google Photos album on there. Unfortunately, I did not find a way to do that directly with Google Photos. You can easily get a single photo, but albums dynamically is tricky. Picasa Web Albums used to support this, but it may be deprecated now.

Alex had a thought of using Instagram, which seems to have an "embed" option, though I cannot tell if that includes albums. One option is that we could have two photo feeds, but only put "website-approved" photos onto the Instagram (by sharing on your phone from Google Photos to Instagram, or migrating to only using Instagram). Otherwise, may have to look at alternative methods for photo albums.

Group photos of the team can be added here as well... along with other less academic news or events.

Part of this idea is inspired by the DePace lab's page on their lab culture: https://depace.med.harvard.edu/?page_id=408

Good luck! I look forward to seeing this take shape. :)
