*********************************
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

Perrin Schiebel, a recent Georgia Tech Ph.D. graduate, shows how snakes were placed into an arena to observe how they responded to obstacles. The snakes use an S-shaped wave to move through the sand and did not alter it when encountering a set of rubber pegs. (Photo: Allison Carter, Georgia Tech)
