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

Nicholas Hud, Regents Professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and the principal investigator for a decade at Georgia Tech's Center for Chemical Evolution, is featured in this American Chemical Society video hosted by Samantha Jones on the chemical origins of life. Hud appears at approximately 5:30 into the video, which discusses the different definitions for classifying "life," and what that means for the search for life on other planets. Hud helps with the chemicals that scientists believed were active on the early Earth, and he shares his excitement about the discovery of exoplanets.
