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

Vaccines are key to stopping the spread of the coronavirus. M.G. Finn, professor and chair of the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, explains how vaccines work, and how vaccinated people are less likely to have the virus reproduce inside them. Viruses mutate and create new strains when enough unvaccinated people allow it to live inside them and infect others. Vaccinating as many pepole as possible stops transmission, and can keep new variants like Delta from popping up.
