Ideation
Hugo Blox supports a Markdown extension for mindmaps.
Simply insert a Markdown code block labelled as markmap and optionally set the height of the mindmap as shown in the example below.
Mindmaps can be created by simply writing the items as a Markdown list within the markmap code block, indenting each item to create as many sub-levels as you need:
```markmap {height="200px"}
- Hugo Modules
- Hugo Blox
- netlify
- netlify-cms
- slides
```
renders as
- Hugo Modules - Hugo Blox - netlify - netlify-cms - slides
Diagrams
Hugo Blox supports the Mermaid Markdown extension for diagrams.
An example Gantt diagram:
```mermaid

section Section
Completed :done, des1, 2014-01-06,2014-01-08
Active :active, des2, 2014-01-07, 3d
Parallel 1 : des3, after des1, 1d
Parallel 2 : des4, after des1, 1d
Parallel 3 : des5, after des3, 1d
Parallel 4 : des6, after des4, 1d
```

You can even write your todo lists in Markdown too:
- [x] Write math example
- [x] Write diagram example
- [ ] Do something else

I graduated as a Biotechnology Engineer from the University of Chile, where I also completed my Ph.D. in Cell and Developmental Biology. Enriched by my research experiences abroad at UC Davis and Ghent University , I moved to California to pursue fundamental biological questions, joining UC Riverside as a Postdoctoral Researcher in 2016. Later, I advanced to an Assistant Project Scientist role, and in 2024, I joined the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). My research is focused on coordinate cellular pattern formation and hormone signaling. Specifically, I utilize genetics, advanced microscopy, and quantitative image analysis to decipher how cells communicate and organize, with findings published in Nature Communications, Cell, and other top journals. Deeply committed to evidence-based education, I hold a CIRTL Associate Teaching Certificate and actively mentor undergraduate and graduate students.
