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 Knowles Science Teaching Foundation (KSTF) is now accepting applications for its Teaching Fellows Program.

KSTF Fellows join a nationwide network of nearly 300 teachers in 42 states. In addition to gaining membership in a community of like-minded peers, Fellows have access to a wealth of other benefits, including stipends, funds for professional development, grants for teaching materials, support from a staff of experienced teachers and teacher educators, and opportunities for mentoring and leadership. Over the course of the five-year Fellowship, KSTF invests approximately $150,000 in each Fellow.
