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

Apparently, a lot of science writers had the same question that Georgia Tech researchers Young-Hui Chang and Lena Ting did: how do flamingos stand on one leg for long periods of time? What biomechanics are involved? Now it's Futurity's turn to show off the results of the study by Chang, a professor in the School of Biological Sciences, and Ting, a professor in the Wallace Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering.
