“Tech companies often believe that because they are innovative they operate outside existing rules, but just like Uber has to grapple with taxi and labor laws from a different era, Robinhood has to navigate the rules that apply to brokers,” said Quinn Curtis, who teaches securities and venture capital at the University of Virginia School of Law.
Claudrena Harold, a professor of African American History at the University of Virginia, counts the victory of Davis-Younger as part of recent trend of Black women being elected to powerful positions in different levels of government. “Without question, she stands on the shoulders of millions of African-American women who have worked to deepen the wells of democracy,” she said. “Her election underscores the changing demographics of not just Northern Virginia [which just four years ago was GOP-dominated] but the larger nation.”
Addressing the persistence of cueing is a challenge that goes beyond curricula, said Emily Solari, a professor of reading education at the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education and Human Development. “We have generations of teachers who haven’t been provided adequate training on how to teach reading, through no fault of their own,” she said. “There are multiple things you have to push on—and just changing one curriculum, even a widely purchased and used curriculum, it’s not a silver bullet.”
“In my opinion, the most intriguing part of this study is the detection of an object in the ‘mass gap,’ which is a sort of no-man’s-land between the heaviest neutron star and lightest black hole masses we’ve measured,” Thankful Cromartie, an astrophysicist at the University of Virginia and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory who wasn’t involved with the new study, wrote in an email to Gizmodo. “Unfortunately, it’s impossible to say which it is, partially because the ‘tidal deformation,’ or neutron star stretching, that’s usually detectable in neutron star mergers is drowned out by this me...
Early this year, The New York Times reviewed more than 10,000 published decisions and dissents during the first three years of the Trump administration. It found that the president’s picks for the appeals courts were more likely than past Republican appointees to disagree with peers selected by Democrats, and more likely to agree with their Republican colleagues, suggesting they were more consistently conservative.

“Investing resources and building partnerships between Black and Brown communities and corporations that are not exploitative, but are truly generative, that’s lasting change,” Dr. Laura Morgan Roberts, author of “Race, Work and Leadership: New Perspectives on the Black Experience” and a business professor at the University of Virginia, said. “It’s helping to build businesses and business owners who are from the community, and will continue to serve that community and extend beyond that community,” Roberts explained.
One of these posts makes a series of misleading claims to craft an intricate theory of how Trump could still win the election despite losing both the electoral and popular votes.

(Commentary co-written by Dr. Joan Schiller, adjunct professor at the School of Medicine) As oncologists who have devoted our careers to cancer patients and research, who live and work in the mid-Atlantic region, we are speaking out now to draw more attention to the rapid and profound action required to address the adverse health effects from air and water pollution, environmental degradation, and climate change-induced events such as hurricanes, wildfires and flooding.

(Free registration required) Modelers at UVA's Biocomplexity Institute have found that the best way to prevent spread among older people most vulnerable to Covid-19 may not be to vaccinate them first, as many states are planning. "If you take a fixed amount of vaccine, you actually end up saving more lives in the older people by giving it to the children, because you're breaking the chain of transmission," says Bryan Lewis, a computational epidemiologist at the institute.
