Add a post on how structural biology experiments preserve, blur, or lose molecular ensembles, converted from the LaTeX draft. Introduces the source distribution and "ensemble resolution", and contrasts cryo-EM particle images with reconstructed maps as inference targets. Authors: Minhuan Li, F. Emil Thomasen, Pilar Cossio Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Presentation work driven by the new ensemble post, but reusable:
- post layout: byline gains an optional `contact` front-matter field,
rendered as a muted tail on the same line as the authors instead of
as a second orphan paragraph. Guarded by `{% if %}`, so existing
posts are unchanged.
- captions: `.blog-caption` / `.blog-caption-wide` were full-size
italic body text, indistinguishable from a paragraph. Now 0.875rem,
grey, centered. Figures became blocks with a gap above the caption.
- `.blog-image-hero`: 90%-width lead figure, centered with auto
margins so the width is measured against the full column.
- `.post-lead`: opt-in drop cap on a post's first paragraph.
Also swap in the updated figure (no slide chrome), move it to the top
of the post as a lead image, and retarget the one in-text reference
that said "the figure below".
Ignore vendor/ so a local `bundle config set path vendor/bundle`
preview build cannot be committed by accident.

Nice work! A preview showing what the website will look like with changes due to your PR has been deployed to: https://rs-station.github.io/rs-station.github.io-preview/pr-previews/pr-87/ |
Preview builds run with --baseurl /rs-station.github.io-preview/ pr-previews/pr-N, but a root-absolute markdown image path ignores it and 404s. Route the src through relative_url so it resolves under both the preview baseurl and the empty one on the live site. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

New post by Minhuan Li, F. Emil Thomasen and Pilar Cossio.
Are We Seeing the Ensemble? — How structural biology experiments preserve, blur, or lose molecular ensembles.
It separates the thermodynamic ensemble from the source distribution an experiment actually probes, introduces ensemble resolution as the limit at which two source distributions become experimentally indistinguishable, and argues that cryo-EM particle images and consensus maps sit at different stages of information loss — so the inference target matters before the inference method. First of a planned series covering other modalities.
