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

Professors Nick Hud, from Georgia Tech, and David Lynn, from Emory, developed experiments that show high school kids how to create adenine, one of the chemicals that form DNA and RNA, and how to extract it from a strawberry. Students from Riverwood International Charter School and Roswell High School took part in the lessons, which aim to show them how the chemistry of life may be starting up right now in a solar system near you.
