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

Join us, along with our partner Arts@Tech, for a screening of Wanuri Kahiu's "Pumzi" and Fabrice Monteiro's "The Prophecy", two short films that explore environmentalism and Black Sci-Fi. In the panel to follow, we will discuss how Black science fiction artists from the Americas, Africa, and beyond, use sci-fi as a tool for thinking about environmental justice. Featuring artist DJ Spooky, former president of the Science Fiction Research Association, Georgia Tech Professor Lisa Yaszek, and food justice warrior Ain Chike.
