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 headline on this story doesn't refer to the actual lifting of a piano. It's about learning a complicated skill (like piano) at a later age in life, long after the neuroplasticity that helps younger people learn the necessary dexterity and musical skils has faded. The story quotes Alexander P. Burgoyne, a postdoctoral researcher in Randall Engle's Attention and Working Memory Lab in the School of Psychology.
