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 Data Science for Social Good (DSSG) summer internship program creates teams of interdisciplinary students to work on problems from the social domain where data collection, visualization and analysis can lead to insights and better decision making. Last summer’s pilot included a project with the City of Atlanta to analyze 911 call center data to improve dispatching time, a project with Cycle Atlanta to visualize bicycle commuter data to improve rider safety and a project with Georgia Tech to analyze wi-fi data to understand space occupancy patterns for smarter facility planning. The culminating showcase event drew a standing room only crowd at the Atlanta Tech Village in mid July. Join us for a brainstorming session on projects, partners, data sets, mentoring opportunities and sponsorships.
