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

Nicole Larsen, a senior with majors in both applied mathematics and physics, was recognized by the Association of Women in Mathematics by receiving a Schafer Prize Honorable Mention. She has been involved in two research projects: one on enumerating pseudoknotted RNA secondary structures with Christine Heitsch, the results of which are being prepared for submission, and another in physics. Nicole has also been active in the mathematics community at Tech. She has been an undergraduate teaching assistant for several semesters and was the only undergraduate judge for the 2008 Georgia Tech High School Math Competition. The Schafer Prize link provides a very nice write-up on Nicole.
