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

To teach the importance of hand washing, Tech students put “glo germ” lotion on a beach ball and let a group of Vietnamese children pass around the ball. By touching the ball, the children got invisible gel or “germs” on their hands, which they could only see under the black flashlight. After the children washed the germs from their hands, Tech students used the black light to show them what clean hands look like.
