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

Kristen Whalen, assistant professor of biology at Haverford College, will lead a team of interdisciplinary scientists to develop new methods to track and translate complex chemical signals exchanged between phytoplankton and bacteria that are fundamental to ocean ecosystems.To accomplish this goal, this grant brings together four scientists with expertise across metabolomics, proteomics, physiology, virology, and chemical ecology. One of the scientists is Julia Kubanek, professor in the Schools of Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Biochemistry, and vice president for interdisciplinary research for Georgia Tech. Kubanek is a former academic mentor of Whalen's.
