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

M.G. Finn said that since vaccines are given to healthy people, researchers need way more trial volunteers than with other types of drugs. "Getting the people to actually participate in the test is often the most difficult thing ... There's a lot of vaccines being developed for the same condition, obviously, and so having a central place where volunteers can go, I think, makes a lot of sense."
