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

Lew Lefton routinely straddles the worlds of polynomials and punchlines. Lefton, a senior academic professional in the School of Mathematics, and assistant dean of information technology for the College of Sciences, has also been a standup/improvisational comedian for 30 years. The Story Collider, a content platform that highlights the human side of science via live shows around the U.S. and a weekly podcast, taped Lefton's standup performance at Atlanta's Highland Inn last October. Lefton is also assistant vice president for research cyberinfrastructure in the office of Tech's Executive Vice President for Research.
