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

At Lake Eufaula in Georgia, Georgia Tech researchers are studying how complex microbial systems use their genetic diversity to respond to human-induced perturbations. They are focusing on man-made lakes located along the Chattahoochee River, such as Lake Lanier and Lake Eufaula. (Georgia Tech Photo courtesy of Kostas Konstantinidis and Despina Tsementzi)
