[web25] research home page linking to main research website

[rufuspollock]

This is about having one page about research on LI main site. Most content will be on research.lifeitself.org subsite.

NB: the content for lifeitself.org/research will probably duplicate to some extent what is research.lifeitself.org main page though with a bit of tweak to explain this is an area life itself works on whereas research subsite can go straight in to what it is about.

• 2)Replace "communicates through the Life itself WhatsApp group" with "communicates through a dedicated WhatsApp group" and remove the hyperlink. ✅2025-12-05
• 4)Having just a few people seems controversial (i assume this was just placeholder). ✅2025-12-05 have removed for now. Also this needs to run off the team page properly ...
• The research presentations don't link to the substack as they should. 💬2025-12-05 👍 - i think we may want to get substack items imported and then directly embed that ...
