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

A sidewinder snake is shown in a sand-filled trackway at Zoo Atlanta. Researchers from Georgia Tech, Carnegie-Mellon University, Zoo Atlanta and Oregon State University studied the snakes to understand the unique motion they use to climb sandy slopes. (Credit: Rob Felt)
