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

Adriana Alvaro Garcia, PhD student at the Digital Media program, was recently selected as a Data Fellow by the United Nation. The Data Fellows program was launched by UN Global Pulse and connects doctoral researchers with UN entities. It is a match-making process where the UN identifies PhD candidates with specific expertise in AI, data science, computational social science or data and design who are interested in to putting their skills to use for the common good.
Adriana was one of the eight researchers selected to dedicate next year working with the UN. Two weeks ago she took part in a workshop in the UN Headquarters for in-person introductions and discussions around the topic of their project.
