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

Dr. Sara Thomas, a postdoctoral researcher in Meghan Duffy's lab, has been named the inaugural winner of the VWR Postdoctoral Award for Scientific Excellence in Experimental Biology. A faculty awards committee selected Dr. Thomas on the strength of her submitted paper, "Diversity and Distribution of Anaeromyxobacter Strains in a Uranium- Contaminated Subsurface Environment with a Nonuniform Groundwater Flow", which was published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology in 2009. This work was completed while Dr. Thomas was a graduate student in the lab of Frank Loeffler. Dr. Thomas will present her findings during a seminar to the School of Biology community on November 19th.
