18 Personal website

Maintaining an online presence feels increasingly important in science, as it’s often the quickest and most convenient way to communicate about what’s being done, who’s doing it, and where it’s happening. If someone wants to find out about you, they’re going to search for you online.

Mark encourages everyone to create a personal website, as they are a great way to show the projects you work on, the people you collaborate with, your CV, etc. There are many different platforms that allow you to create a free website. Mark uses Hugo and reveal.js to create the lab website on GitHub and would be happy to help you get set up that way. Alternatively, you could use the built-in functionality of options from Google, Wix, Wordpress, etc.
