Yes I was thinking on this when I was working with the nav, also a place to capture some people ideas or to get in contact with Austin to talk about.

quick mockup. pretty sad the labs url (https://gitcoin.co/labs) on the Medium post brings you to a 404 😢

I 😍 this. this page is awesome! -- only two comments:

we should perhaps show the labs research roadmap (which right now is only a collection of buzzwords or one-line descriptions of scope) in the page desc
is that the 'get in touch' options feel lopsided on the left hand side.

i've also gotten some feedback from the community that theydon't get how they're suppose to work with labs.

maybe we can solve BOTH problems by adding a header / paragraph text next to 'get in touch' that designates how community-driven the research is, and the community can work with us

i'd love to get comments from @PixelantDesign and @austintgriffith though

I would just consolidate tools and research into on set of posts, but maybe we could separate too. open to ideas

Owocki [8:31 AM]
i think that research will be link to medium posts.. whereas tools is probably what gitcoin.co/tools is now (a list of live apps that gitcoin / gitcoinlabs has produced)

@willsputra let us know what you need from us to do another rev of the design..

@owocki @austintgriffith thanks for the feedback!

here's an updated draft:

added 'Roadmap' below 'Latest Research'
changed 'Get in Touch' to 'Community' since I think it would be clearer, and added more explanation on contributing as a community member.
