Lab members appear on the Team page of your site, grouped into Current and Alumni. They're available on lab-group sites by default; faculty sites can also use this feature to credit collaborators or mentees.
Adding a member
Open Lab members → Add. Required fields are name and role (e.g. "PhD student", "Postdoctoral fellow", "Research assistant"). Everything else is optional but improves the page:
- Photo — a square or near-square headshot. We resize and crop automatically.
- Bio — a sentence or two on what they work on.
- Research interests — short tagline.
- Links — personal website, LinkedIn, Google Scholar, X/Twitter.
- Email — only shows if you want it public; otherwise omit.
- Start / end dates — used to sort and to mark someone as alumni when they leave.
Marking someone as alumni
Toggle Is current off and Is alumni on. Optionally fill in their Current position (e.g. "Assistant Professor at University of Toronto") — this shows alongside their name on the alumni section, which is one of the most-read parts of an academic site.
Reordering
Members are ordered by Display order within their section. Lower numbers appear first. Use this to put senior members ahead of junior ones, or to highlight people on hot topics. Ties are broken by start date.
Privacy and consent
You're publishing photos and biographical details of real people. Make sure you have the member's consent before adding them, especially for minors or trainees who haven't started yet. See our privacy policy for the children's-content section that covers lab pages featuring under-18s.
Removing a member
Swipe left on iOS, or click the trash icon in the dashboard. The deletion is immediate. If you'd rather keep them in your records but hide them from the public site, set Is current off and don't mark them as alumni — they'll vanish from both sections but remain in your dashboard.
