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

Administering vaccine with a microneedle patch

A microneedle patch being developed by Georgia Tech and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) could make it easier to vaccinate people against measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases. Compared to conventional vaccines, the patch is designed to be administered by minimally-trained workers and to simplify storage, distribution and disposal. This video describes the patch and how it would be used.
