Pull request overview
Adds a new Jekyll news post announcing/recapping QuantEcon’s SciPy 2026 tutorial, fitting into the site’s _posts/-driven news feed and post pages.
Changes:
- Adds a dated news post (2026-07-14) describing the SciPy 2026 tutorial content and links to materials.
- Uses existing site conventions for post front matter (
layout: post,excerpt,tag: [workshop]) so the workshop badge renders on/news/and the post page.
