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

Assistant Professor Meghan Duffy has been awarded the 2010 Georgia Tech Faculty Award for Academic Outreach.
The award "rewards faculty members for productive academic outreach in which they go beyond their normal duties to enrich the larger educational community with their subject matter knowledge." Meghan has used Lake Clara Meer in Piedmont Park as the focus of her outreach activities; she has developed and led hands-on activities that teach campers at Piedmont Park about aquatic ecology and has hosted a teacher from nearby Grady High School in her lab, and is currently working with Mary Moerlins of the Piedmont Park Conservancy to develop new activities.
