Kicks off the Duke → NYU move for the lab site. This PR handles the visual rebrand; the textual/content changes are catalogued in TODO-NYU-migration.md for follow-up (they need your decisions on timing, per-person emails, program pathways, etc.).

What changed

  • Color scheme: Duke Blue #001A57NYU Violet #57068C across navbar, buttons, and header banner, with Deep Violet #330662 accents (from NYU brand guidelines).
  • Navbar: now NYU Violet (white nav text ≈ 11.6:1 contrast — accessible).
  • Header banner: Duke chapel photo → NYU violet gradient.
  • Logo: Duke Neurobiology stack → placeholder NYU Center for Neural Science lockup (images/nyu_cns_lockup.svg). ⚠️ Official NYU marks are trademarked and return 403 on hotlink — request an approved asset from brand@nyu.edu / CNS comms and drop it in.
  • Landing page: bold, large-font "We're moving to NYU — effective September 1, 2026" announcement (stub copy, easy to edit or remove after the move).

Follow-ups (see TODO-NYU-migration.md)

Site title/description, @duke.edu emails, bios, the entire join_us.md PhD-pathways section, location.md (Bryan Building → Meyer, 4 Washington Place), learning-resource course refs, and a review of historical blog posts (most should stay as-is).

Notes

  • Jekyll build passes cleanly.
  • TODO-NYU-migration.md is intended as a working checklist and can be deleted before final merge.

Move the lab's visual identity toward NYU / Center for Neural Science
ahead of the September 2026 move:

- Swap Duke Blue (#001A57) for NYU Violet (#57068C) across the navbar,
  buttons, and header banner, with Deep Violet (#330662) accents.
- Paint the top nav NYU Violet (white nav text stays ~11.6:1 contrast).
- Replace the Duke chapel jumbotron photo with an NYU violet gradient.
- Replace the Duke Neurobiology logo with a placeholder NYU CNS lockup
  (images/nyu_cns_lockup.svg). Official NYU marks are trademarked and
  can't be hotlinked; swap in an approved asset from brand@nyu.edu.
- Add a bold "We're moving to NYU (Sept 1, 2026)" announcement banner
  to the landing page (stub copy, easy to edit/remove after the move).
- Add TODO-NYU-migration.md cataloguing every remaining Duke-specific
  reference (identity, emails, bios, recruiting, location, blog posts)
  for follow-up decisions.
