Yet the amendment has strong critics, including some conservatives who have long argued that it would provide a new constitutionally guaranteed right to abortion access. And ERA skeptics span the political spectrum: Kim Forde-Mazrui, a UVA law professor and constitutional law scholar who calls himself “a liberal supporter of women’s equality,” argues that the amendment would do nothing and even potentially be harmful.

Any action by the president after a removal vote would likely be challenged in court and even as bitterly divided as Washington seems, there’s likely little appetite for a constitutional showdown in the White House’s West Wing. “If the ex-president refused to go, he would be escorted out once Pence became commander-in-chief,” said Larry Sabato, director of UVA’s Center for Politics.

While it’s a smaller environmental danger than carbon, scientists say fertilizer is an underrated and growing threat – one that’s more complicated to solve. UVA environmental scientist James Galloway said, “You need to have that nitrogen to grow the food, and the more people there are and the higher they’re eating up the food chain, the more nitrogen you need.”

Jonathan Kipnis, the director of the Center for Brain Immunology and Glia and chairman of the department of neuroscience at the University of Virginia, was curious as to whether the body’s immune system might somehow be in dialogue with the brain, and microglia, in ways that could influence neurological and psychiatric conditions.

Harris is part of Hoops2O Hoops, aka “The Water Boys,” founded by professional athletes many of whose roots go back to the University of Virginia, Harris’ alma mater. Malcolm Brogdon, the Pacers’ point guard, initiated the program along with former NFL defensive end Chris Long, a two-time Super Bowl champ. 

On this first day of the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, a nonpartisan group out of the University of Virginia is weighing in. On Tuesday, the Senate got to work setting rules for the proceedings. The Miller Center’s CEO and president, Bill Antholis, is studying the ways this impeachment process is similar and different from those of former presidents Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and Andrew Johnson.

History professor Elizabeth Varon writes for the Miller Center at the University of Virginia – which studies the American presidency – that “Andrew Johnson gives truth to the saying that in America, anyone can grow up to become President.” 

The 2019-20 flu season has been atypical in one significant way. Until now, Influenza B/Victoria – the season's less severe version of the flu compared to Influenza A(H1N1) – has been the more impactful strain of the flu virus. "That's quite unusual," Dr. Bryan Lewis, a professor at UVA’s Biocomplexity Institute, told AccuWeather. Lewis works with a team in a research partnership with AccuWeather. "This is likely the most cases caused by Influenza B in any season in the last 20 years."

Consider this example from presenter Brad Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project and professor of sociology at the University of Virginia. He is a senior fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and serves as an adviser to the Deseret News for its annual American Family Survey, now in its sixth year.
