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

A diagram illustrating how violet light interacts with the photoreceptor protein OPN5 to prevent progression of myopia. At top, A, a normal eye. In the middle, B, shows a myopic eye with characteristic elongation between the cornea and the retina and a thinning of the vascular layer called the choroid. The bottom, C, shows that violet suppresses the elongation and thinning of the choroid. (Illustration: Toshihide Kurihara)
