Alan Taylor, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation professor of history at the University of Virginia, supports the idea that Jefferson was likely working several angles at once. “It was an age when science, geopolitics and espionage intertwined, as they probably still do,” Taylor told me in an email. “Given Jefferson’s talent for intrigue and deception, I would not be surprised if he knew more about Michaux’s filibustering expedition than he let on.”

(Commentary) All fields of science have lately had to grapple with the so-called “Replication Crisis,” in which many peer-reviewed, totemic results are shown to be impossible to reproduce, and hence should be considered unreliable. According to Brian Nosek, executive director of the Center for Open Science and a psychology professor at the University of Virginia, the refuted clownfish studies are “a perfect exemplar of the challenges for reproducibility and credibility across the sciences. It was an exciting and novel finding within a system that rewards exciting and novel findings.”

Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said that Biden’s handling of the bishop’s actions so far could be a good way to put the issue on the back burner.

It really is. It’s not just wrong-headed. It’s short-sighted, and they just seem unaware that a very large percentage of particularly younger Catholics do not identify with many of their positions and t...
Micah J. Schwartzman, a University of Virginia law professor who specializes in the intersection of law and religion, said the “court’s signal for social service providers is clear enough: It will grant them religious exemptions, even when doing so entails allowing them to violate anti-discrimination laws.”
As vaccine hesitancy persists, Ican’s legal blitz has fueled disinformation, using costly legal threats to deter schools and businesses from implementing vaccination requirements. “If you have a limited budget to deal with litigation, it doesn’t matter if you might win at the Supreme Court level,” said Margaret Foster Riley, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law. “The costs of that litigation are so existentially threatening that you’re not going to take the risk.”
