1. The standard bio layout contains: your name, academic background, work experience, research domain, research methodology, research description, publications, a black-and-white portrait, personal website and professional website... in that order. Students early in their career may only have content for some of these sections. That's cool. Add more when you have it\!

2. Anything sandwiched in-between a pair of start-bracket htmlcomment end-bracket is not displayed in viewer's browsers.

3. Look at the menu options beneath this window. One of the options is "Label." You can now label your bio which enables... drum-roll... indexing. Please choose from the pre-seeded labels.
