There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Mr. Joshua Stern, a second year PhD student in Prof. Gaucher's group, was recently awarded a three-year fellowship by NASA's Earth and Space Science Program. Josh plans to reconstruct and resurrect, in silico and in vitro, the 50S ribosome of the bacterial progenitor of life. This project addresses the early evolution of translation, a process that arguably was necessary for life subject to Darwinian evolution. He also benefits from the collegial and supportive environment at the Georgia Tech / NASA Center for Ribosomal Origins and Evolution.
