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

For three weeks in the summer, the Bio@Tech program gives high school students a chance to do some investigative biology. It's a joint project of the School of Biological Sciences and the Center for Education Integrating Science, Math and Computing (CEISMC). Rebecca Jeltuhin, a senior at Milton High School, wrote about her Bio@Tech experiences for VoxATL, a platform for teenage writers, and it is republished by WABE 90.1. She writes about her experiences investigating the pollution in the Chattahoochee River and suggests ways we can all do a better job of taking care of Atlanta's famous waterway.
