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

Merrick Furst aims to change the way companies are born. The American professor has developed a process to help entrepreneurs start companies, believing that in the same way a bridge or an aeroplane is engineered, entrepreneurs can benefit from a form of mental engineering to work out whether their ideas are feasible. This month, Mr Furst was in Abu Dhabi at the invitation of New York University Abu Dhabi to deliver a lecture explaining his unique approach. Source: The National
