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

Have you ever asked yourself: “How can I best facilitate the career development of my trainees?”
Come to this session to talk about tools that you can use to better prepare your graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for successful careers.
These tools can help you too - they encourage trainees to stay focused on goals and can be used as part of the mentoring plans required for some grant applications.
