adding new project page for LAMBDA. Claude Code helped but tbh not much; it would have been simple to do this myself.

+# LAMBDA – Lakehouse-enabled AI‑ready Multi‑modal Bioimaging Data Architecture
+
+LAMBDA is a Department of Energy (DOE) Biological and Environmental
+Research (BER) supported research initiative that aims to develop a
+**cross‑facility, standardized data framework** for all BER‑supported
+structural biology and imaging resources.
+The project seeks to integrate heterogeneous biomedical data sources into a unified “lakehouse” architecture that is ready for AI‑driven analysis.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Define a common data model and metadata standards for structural biology and imaging datasets.
+- Provide tools and pipelines for ingesting, curating, and sharing data across multiple DOE facilities.
+- Enable AI‑ready, multimodal data access to accelerate scientific discovery and collaboration.
