*********************************
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
*********************************
The goal of the Metabolism Workshop is to connect people at Georgia Tech, Emory University, and other local institutions with overlapping interests with the hopes of making a more interactive metabolism-related community, identifying opportunities for those who may not realize that they would benefit from integrating metabolism into their work, and pooling our expertise to pursue bigger problems and grander challenges in biology.
We will be hosting three external speakers for keynote presentations, to provide depth in their respective fields of expertise and give attendees a breadth of appreciation for what types of research, methods, and projects are out there. These presentations will be complemented by local speakers giving shorter presentations to foster collaborative and interactive future activities.
