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

This summer, GIFT (Georgia Intern Fellowships for Teachers) Fellow K. Tchaas Omi, a biology teacher at Arabia Mountain High School, helped his students, Nia Thomas, Aram Watson and Ausar Omi complete research projects on the effect of pollution on honey bees as part of the R.E.A.L. (Research, Experiment, Analyze and Learn) program. Nia, Aram and Ausar spent the early part of the summer doing a survey of bee-flower interactions on the GT campus and then designed their own experiment investigating how gaseous pollutants affect the ability of bees to communicate. Our young researchers brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the GT Urban Honey Bee Project this summer and we will miss them!
