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

Professor Craig Tovey, working with Dr. Ivan Chase from the Stony Brook University, has published "Individual Differences versus Social Dynamics in the Formation of Animal Dominance Hierarchies," which appears in the April 16th, 2002, issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Their research shows that biological facts do not rule the social lives of animals even as "simple" as fish; group dynamics play a major role.
