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

Professor Howie Weiss has been awarded a three-year, $1.38M grant from Boeing to study the transmission of infectious diseases on aircraft. Howie and collaborators at Emory University and Delta Airlines will document patterns of passenger movement inside aircraft cabins and inventory the microbes present in cabin air and on surfaces. Howie says that "the ultimate goal of this project is to reduce the transmission of infectious diseases on aircraft." See the Tech News Room article for complete details..
