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

"We need to wash out the 'weed-them-out orientation' in the classroom," says Mary Frank Fox, [ADVANCE professor in the School of Public Policy and] co-director at the Center for Study of Women, Science and Technology at Georgia Tech. "That is not a hospitable climate for students, we have to teach students to move along rather than have them sink or swim." Fox participated in a panel on STEM education last week at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
