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

Mariel Borowitz, associate professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was quoted in "Global Space Economy Swells in Spite of the Pandemic," published Aug. 23 in Space News.

The changes were “relatively steady across the year,” said Mariel Borowitz, associate professor in the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Sam Nunn School of International Affairs. “So, not so much pandemic-related as larger trends that were already happening.”
