Contraline is the brainchild of Kevin Eisenfrats and his late research partner John Herr, who met at the UVA School of Medicine.
Diana Motz is generally vocal from the bench and is known for asking pointed questions. The Clinton nominee joined the Fourth Circuit in 1994, and is the third-longest-serving member of the active bench. She went to Vassar College and then to the University of Virginia Law School. She was also the first woman to sit on the Fourth Circuit.

Now, as her last year business school winds down, Cassin already has an offer from global consulting firm Accenture in their federal government and non-profit division. She credits her education at Darden, learning strategic thinking and how to do market analyses, as pivotal to her success.
“Jackson had a big heart for white farmers,” UVA historian Nicole Hemmer said. “Less so for the American Indians he slaughtered and the African-Americans he enslaved. Given Trump’s own focus on white Americans over non-white Americans, it’s not surprising that he would fail to see the limits of Jackson’s big-heartedness.”
The collaborative volumetric muscle loss research will take place in the lab of George J. Christ, University of Virginia professor of biomedical engineering and orthopedic surgery.

As UVA law professor Douglas Laycock explains, as currently drafted, the Johnson Amendment serves an important function, because it currently prevents churches and other 501(c)(3)s from becoming “a huge loophole in the campaign finance laws” that would allow churches to participate more freely in pouring dark money into elections, without any fear of disclosure requirements. Professor Micah Schwartzman, who also teaches law at UVA, says the argument that churches have been subject to “bullying” or “surveillance” is simply not a real problem.
Bob Gibson, a senior researcher at the Academy for Civic Renewal at UVA’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service and a former Progress reporter, is leading an extensive journalistic effort to capture the history and achievements of the Hall of Fame inductees.

The School Board also heard from Patricia Jennings, an associate professor at UVA’s Curry School of Education, who recently helped Buford Middle School teachers to become more mindful of their emotions while interacting with students.
“It isn’t critical to have every ambassadorship filled,” said Larry Sabato, director of UVA’s Center for Politics. “But you want all the major ones filled as quickly as possible, if for no other reason than that, in those countries where there’s no American ambassador, it looks as though they’re low priority. They interpret it that way.”
The executive order doesn’t hint that pastors should be allowed to endorse from the pulpit, said Douglas Laycock, a UVA law professor and an expert on religious freedom.

UVA engineering professor Rider Foley has studied innovation in the construction industry, especially as it applies to nanomaterial innovations like self-cleaning windows, or steel coatings that resist rust. “The construction industry specifically is lagging behind some of the early predictions and forecasts” of when it would adopt these new materials, he says.
UVA Professor of African-American Studies Ervin Jordan mourned the loss of the historic hotel. “This is the hotel where Martin Luther King Jr. stayed when he spoke at the University of Virginia in March of 1963. It was five years before his assassination,” he said.
Sisters Caroline Hatley and Maya Hatley from Pulaski Academy in Little Rock have been named the first twins to receive scholarships to the University of Virginia through the Jefferson Scholars Foundation, one of the most highly selective merit scholarship programs in the nation.
As the five-year agreements’ end date approaches, many factories are still far from adhering to the safety measures outlined. “It’s very unlikely that all of the Accord and Alliance factories would be fully remediated by that deadline,” says Jennifer Bair, a UVA sociologist who studies globalization. A lot of the work left to be done is significant and expensive, and while the scope of danger can vary widely from factory to factory, virtually every exporting factory in the country was found to need some sort of repair.
Interview with Larry Sabato, director of UVA’s Center for Politics, about how the one-term limit affects the governorship in Virginia, and how it might work nationally to have presidents limited to just one four-year term.
In the suit, the NCAA claims it is entitled to coverage of some past and potentially future legal costs as well as a portion of a proposed $209 million settlement it recently reached in one case. So, from the NCAA’s perspective, aside from the precedent it may have established by not seeking enforcement of coverage to which it believes it’s entitled, “This is not a minimal dispute involving small change,” said UVA law school professor Kenneth S. Abraham, an insurance law expert. “This is a substantial insurance complaint.”
Donald Trump and Republican leaders in Congress are poised for a high-stakes vote on health care reform on Thursday. “I simply have to believe they have the votes or they would never risk a gigantic embarrassment on the House floor – one that would define [House Speaker] Paul Ryan forever and severely damage Trump,” said Larry Sabato, a UVA politics professor. “Famous last words, but it’s the only thing that makes sense.”
The U.S. Constitution doesn’t address the issue of secession. It neither gives states the right to secede nor denies it, says history professor Gary Gallagher, director of UVA’s John L. Nau III Center for Civil War History.
