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

It sounds like a really cool way to learn, and even involved bringing several local doctors into the classroom to teach kids about what surgeons, and other specialties, do. Second-grade Maggie is retroactively jealous.
