+| Lab events | `content/events.md` |

+
+---
+
+## How to Edit Each Section
+
+### Adding a Lab Event
+
+Open `content/events.md` and add a new event under "Upcoming" or "Past":
+
+```markdown
+### Event Title
+- date: January 20, 2026
+- presenter: Person Name
+- topic: What the event is about
+```
+
+### Adding a Protocol
+
+Open `content/protocols.md` and add:
+
+```markdown
+## Protocol Name
+- description: Brief description of what this protocol covers.
+- file: protocols/filename.pdf
+```
+
+For external links instead of PDFs:
+```markdown
+## Resource Name
+- description: Brief description.
+- link: https://example.com/resource
+```
+
+### Adding an Alumni
+
+Open `content/alumni.md` and add:
+
+```markdown
+## Person Name
+- years: 2020-2024
+- current: Current Position, Company/University
+```
+
+### Adding a Publication
+
+Open `content/publications.md` and add under the appropriate year:
+
+```markdown
+### Paper Title
+- authors: LastName A et al.
+- journal: Journal Name
+- doi: 10.1234/example.doi
+```
+
+### Adding a Team Member
+
+Open the appropriate file in `content/team/`:
+- Scientists/Postdocs: `scientists.md`
+- Graduate Students: `students.md`
+- Staff: `staff.md`
+
+Add:
+```markdown
+## Person Name
+- role: Their Role
+- photo: images/team/filename.jpg
+```
+
+---
+
+## Adding Photos
+
+1. Put the photo file in the `images/team/` folder
+2. Reference it in the markdown file as `images/team/filename.jpg`
+3. Recommended: Square photos work best (e.g., 400x400 pixels)
+
+---
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- **Don't change the `##` symbols** - these mark section headers
+- **Keep the `- ` before each property** - this is required formatting
+- **Don't edit `index.html`** - that's the template file
+- **Don't edit files in `css/` or `js/`** - those control styling
+
+---
+
+## Need Help?

+Contact the lab webmaster or see the [Markdown Guide](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/) for formatting help.
