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
*********************************
The Workshop on Topological Protection in Messy Matter, sponsored by Georgia Tech's Community for Research on Active Surfaces and Interfaces (CRĀSI) will be held on the Georgia Tech campus on May 14-15, 2018. The workshop will bring together distinguished researchers from diverse intellectual communities to present and moreover to develop new ways of exploiting topology in "messy" systems, including but not limited to disordered, fluid, amorphous, active, structured and quasicrystalline systems.
Participants are welcome, though not required, to submit abstracts for contributed talks or posters to accompany talks from our wonderful invitees.
