Spencer Shanholtz at the University of Virginia says the homeownership rate for people under the age of 34 is rising much faster than the general population of adults — that’s especially true in exurban areas around Washington. DC, Hampton Roads and Richmond. “The young Virginian age group is seeing the most gains now primarily because they saw the largest decline during the recession. They’re the most vulnerable to swings in the economy and therefore they’re rising faster than most at this point.”
ARBs and another class of blood-pressure drugs called angiotensin converting-enzyme inhibitors, or ACE inhibitors, are often the first drugs doctors recommend to lower a patient's blood pressure, according to Dr. Robert M. Carey, dean emeritus at the UVA School of Medicine. "These are recommended as first line therapy for high blood pressure," said Carey, who co-chaired the clinical practice committee of the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology. "So when you get recalls, you do start to worry about what the alternatives would be."
However, there have been rumblings of discontent in the academic world, with disagreement about what IAT scores actually reveal about a person. Multiple studies have found IAT results are not strongly reproducible in an individual: one day you might have a “moderate” bias and the next day you might come out in the clear. Brian Nosek, of the University of Virginia, who was part of the team that developed the IAT, acknowledged that the extent to which the result measures a meaningful trait had been misconceived and said the test should not be taken in this spirit.
The University of Virginia’s public radio station will be moving to a new location on Ivy Road in March.

A bill by Rep. Tom Garrett, R-5th, that would rename a Charlottesville post office in honor of Army Capt. Humayun Khan, the only University of Virginia alumnus to be killed in action during the Iraq War, is headed to the U.S. Senate.
The Miller Center at the University of Virginia, a nonpartisan organization focused on American presidential history, offers on its website an extensive list of the key moments of George H.W. Bush’s presidency.
While former Republican President George H.W. Bush has been characterized for his ability to create bridges across party lines, some of those compromises cost him support from his own party. Barbara Perry, a UVA historian and professor who wrote a book about Bush's tenure, spoke about some of the lasting effects he had on U.S. politics.
(Podcast) Getting from one place to another is hard. What if we could just teleport? From the physics of how this would work (it wouldn’t) to the ripple effects on politics, urban development, and tourism, this episode is all about what would happen if we could zip instantly from one place to another. Guests include UVA historian Peter Norton, author of “Fighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City.”
“The Midwest is the most consistently competitive region of the United States, and it oscillates between the two parties,” said Kyle Kondik, who follows elections at UVA’s Center for Politics and wrote a book on Ohio politics. “Trump’s election may suggest a longer-term realignment toward Republicans given how white the Midwest is, but for the time being it remains hard to classify as being solidly in either camp.”
Timing of pregnancies have enormous impact on a working mother’s earning potential. Dr. Amalia Miller at the University of Virginia also found that “women who bore their first child after age 30 enjoyed higher wage rates and accumulated more wealth by age 60 than earlier child-bearers and childless women,” according to her research from 2005.
Dr. Ted Burns, a UVA professor of neurology, says Catalyst is “profiteering” off of vulnerable patients, and calls its business model for Firdapse “exploitative.” In 2015, he penned an editorial – signed by more than 100 neurology experts – expressing grave concern that an FDA approval would spike treatment costs for LEMS patients.
As psychological researchers have known for a long time, all sorts of subtle cues can affect how individuals respond in experimental settings. A failure to replicate, then, doesn’t always mean that the effect being studied isn’t there – it can simply mean the new study was conducted a bit differently. Many Labs 2, a project of the Center for Open Science at the University of Virginia, embarked on one of the most ambitious replication projects in psychology yet – and did so in a way designed to address these sorts of critiques, which have in some cases hampered past efforts.
Classes of fourth-graders and kindergarteners from Clark Elementary School play-tested several math-focused games at the UVA School of Engineering on Thursday. The first-year UVA students clustered around each game had worked with the elementary school students all year to perfect the devices. Their final exam scores would be determined by how well the final projects performed.
Dozens of people gathered at UVA Thursday to focus on how eating plant-based foods can help fight against climate change.
