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

Data visualization is fundamentally an act of communication. While many discussions focus on the technical aspects of creating visualizations, communicating insights in a clear, relevant and accessible way is essential. The Georgia Tech team responsible for building the Covid-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool recently shared key lessons they learned based on the experience. That team includes Joshua Weitz, Professor and Tom and Marie Patton Chair in the School of Biological Sciences, Co-Director of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Quantitative Biosciences, and Blaise Pascal International Chair of Excellence; Stephen Beckett, research scientist, and Quan Nguyen, undergraduate research assistant, both with the School of Biological Sciences.
