Image Guidelines

• File formats: Use JPG for photos, PNG for graphics with transparency
• File sizes: Optimize images before uploading (aim for < 500KB per image)
• Dimensions:
  • Profile photos: 400x400px (square)
  • Header images: 1920x600px (landscape)
  • Research images: 800x600px or similar
• Naming: Use descriptive, lowercase names with hyphens (e.g., lab-equipment.jpg)
