The template is reusable, with credit.

This covers, but is not limited to, the colour scheme, typography, and the way cards lift, glow, and change colour on hover, and extends to any other styling or design choice on the site, whether or not it is named here. You may reuse or adapt it in any framework, including having an AI rebuild something similar from the live site, as long as you give appropriate credit. A visible line such as:

satisfies the requirement. See AGENTS.md for the same request addressed to AI assistants.

The content is not reusable. Everything else that is Nicole M. Lee's own work is © 2026 Nicole M. Lee, all rights reserved, and is not covered by the CC BY license. That includes all written text (the bio, research and tool write-ups, paper summaries, awards, and every other word here), the photographs, rig and hardware images and design files, app screenshots, any source code for her own tools, and her name and identity. It may not be copied or reused.

Third-party material keeps its own terms and is not Nicole's to license:

• Figures under papers/ come directly from published papers and are cited accordingly in their captions; they belong to their journals and co-authors and stay under their own terms.
• dabest-icon.svg is the DABEST project's logo (DABEST-square-outline.svg from acclab/DABEST-python), not an original design.
