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

Kim CobbKim Cobb, parent of a seventh grader at Inman Middle School, was convinced the momentum was dead when last year she opened her daughter’s earth science book and discovered a mere 1.5 pages on climate change. Cobb, who also happens to be a professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech, was dismayed. She believes textbooks can be used in conjunction with other resources, but has noted some opposition to utilizing regional sources that would help give kids an understanding of how climate change is directly impacting their communities.
