+
+### Notes
+
+**Session Log Value:**
+This change demonstrates the importance of detailed session logging. The original bio data was easily recovered from the session log entry documenting the previous move to alumni, without needing to search through git history.
+
+**News Item Status:**
+The news item created earlier today (`content/news/2025-12-08-amanda-lebel-phd.md`) about Amanda receiving her PhD remains published, as it's still factually accurate even though she's back in the current members section.
