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

The science journal Nature asked scientists for advice on what their colleagues should be focusing on in 2021. Georgia Tech climate scientist Kim Cobb, who in 2020 maintained a very busy schedule of teaching online classes, homeschooling her four children, and applying for multi-million dollar research grants, says scientists should make sure to budget more than enough time for work and family obligations.
