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

If you're finding yourself wondering what day it is, or you forgot what your local watering hole smells like, you're likely suffering from what some have labeled "pandemic fog."

One of those experts is Tina Franklin, a research scientist at Georgia Tech who works in the Singer Lab in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering.
