  <title><![CDATA[Professors Help Found Multimillion Dollar Math & Biology NSF-Simons Project]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>A new national project, which includes the Georgia Institute of Technology, aims to convey the benefits of physics&rsquo; age-old intertwining with math upon biology, a science historically less connected with it. The National Science Foundation and the Simons Foundation have launched four centers to&nbsp;do this, funded with $40 million, one of which is headquartered at Georgia Tech and will receive a quarter of the funding.</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
