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
gantt
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
```
renders as

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

Food Science Researcher
Welcome! I am a food safety researcher working at the intersection of wet-lab molecular microbiology and computational risk modeling. My work focuses on tracking and controlling foodborne pathogens—from investigating biofilm resistance and fermentation ecology to developing rapid diagnostic assays and Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) models. I am passionate about open science, reproducible data workflows in R, and advancing global food safety standards.
