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 Georgia Tech Urban Honey Bee Project is using the Georgia TechStarter platform to raise funds for research. Contributors to our "Honey Bees Get Wired" campaign will help purchase high-tech equipment used to monitor honey bee behavior. In particular, the funds will be used to purchase an RFID system. Tiny RFID tags will be attached to bees, allowing us to detect exactly when each labeled bee leaves and returns to the hive. We can then determine whether foraging patterns differ in rooftop hives and ground-level hives and in urban and rural environments. For more information, go to https://starter.gatech.edu/#55.
