From e92fb8da3fda9e1eeb852c2ef3e4126de4c0df27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Dichter Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 08:09:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add NeuroDataReHack 2026 talk recordings Replace the placeholder schedule on the NeuroDataReHack 2026 event page with an HTML schedule that links each talk to its recording, add the recorded-talks playlist to the event resources, and add a news post announcing the recordings. A few remote talks are not yet posted because the room recording did not capture the presenters' shared slides; those are marked in the schedule and noted in the post, and will be added when usable recordings are available.

From e1d1ad9dfbec06b8f29c7c76b794d20a894acb1b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Dichter Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 14:12:38 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Show news header images at natural aspect ratio The news article header forced every image into a fixed 240px-tall box with object-fit: cover, which cropped the top and bottom of wide banners (and the sides on narrow screens). The NeuroDataReHack 2026 banner is 3:1 and was visibly clipped. Let the header image size to its natural aspect ratio so the full banner is shown. All current news header images are landscape, so none render unusually tall.
