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

Marc WeissburgMarc Weissburg, a professor in the School of Biological Sciences and an organizer of the March for Science Atlanta on April 22, writes in the Ampilfier blog about the need for the scientific community to reach out to the public:
Events like the Atlanta Science Fair, and the national March for Science on April 22 are enormous opportunities to engage our fellow citizens. They allow us to communicate how the work of scientists and engineers is essential for making personal and collective decisions that promote equity, justice, and human and environmental health.
