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

Kim CobbPeople can think you're a good-looking scientist. But can they also think you're a good scientist? A new study from some UK researchers shows that survey respondents are interested in hearing more about what attractive, articulate scientists are doing in their labs than about those whom they believed didn't fit that description. But those same respondents doubt the quality of the pretty scientists' work, all based solely on their looks. One of the scientists reacting to the study in this Forbes Science story is Kim Cobb, ADVANCE professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Georgia Power Faculty Scholar and an oft-quoted expert on climate science and the health of coral reefs.
