If you are obese and you want to try to lose some weight to boost your chances of getting pregnant, a new UVA study suggests it might not help. What did the researchers find? There was no significant difference in rates of healthy births among obese women with unexplained infertility who had lost weight and those who had not.
Pre-K’s positive effects fading over time, or, in the case of the Tennessee study, pre-K attendance resulting in poorer student outcomes, led a group of researchers including Peg Burchinal, a professor at the University of Virginia’s school of education and human development, to ask why.
The impact is harsher on single women than married women, who can get the benefit of a husband’s earnings and savings. Married Americans have twice the average assets as divorced or never-married people as they near retirement, according to research by University of Virginia sociology professor W. Bradford Wilcox. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth in 2016, he contrasted the average assets of $640,000 for 51- to 60-year-old married people with $167,000 for divorced or never-married singles.
Jim Tucker and Jennifer Kim Penberthy spend a lot of time thinking about the afterlife. They're psychiatry professors at the University of Virginia. Tucker studies near-death experiences and young children who report memories of a past life. Penberthy studies both near-death experiences and after-death communications, or people who say they were visited by a deceased loved one. Their research has convinced them there's a consciousness beyond our physical reality, they said at a South by Southwest panel in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday.
Researchers with the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute continued an upbeat tune in Friday’s report, even as other countries around the globe are undergoing a new surge of COVID-19 cases. “As spring approaches, there is good reason to be optimistic,” UVa experts said. “In spring of 2021, COVID-19 cases quickly fell from the winter peak and remained at pandemic lows until early September.” This year appears to be following the same path. In fact, weekly cases have fallen by 93% in the last two months, and most of Virginia is still in decline.
2. The University of Virginia established the Animal Law Program in the year 2009. It not only offers animal law classes and helps students find the requisite trainings related to animal law but also introduces illustrious orators and sponsors writing competitions for graduate students. The program also inculcates in the students, keen interest in the ethics and laws of the human relationship with animals. It exposes the students to theoretical as well as practical legal experiences in animal law and it is even visited by the famed speakers who belong to the areas of animal rights, law, and we...
Kihei Clark, a senior point guard for the University of Virginia’s men’s basketball team, booked his first commercial because of the changes. “It brings different opportunities for different players to be able to support their family or do a little extra stuff for themselves before going professional and I think that’s the route for them to be able to stay in college a couple extra years and maybe get their degree,” Clark said.
A native of the commonwealth is returning home to take the reins of the women’s basketball program at Virginia. On Monday morning, the Cavaliers named Amaka ‘Mox’ Agugua-Hamilton their new women’s basketball coach. She spent the last three seasons in the same role at Missouri State, where her teams reached immense success.
The quest to repeat was spearheaded by world-class athletes who were never tempted by the complacency of their greatness. “There’s always goals, and what we always talk about is outdoing what we’ve done in the past,” Virginia swimming and diving coach Todd DeSorbo said by phone Sunday, less than 24 hours after the Cavaliers claimed their second consecutive NCAA women’s championship on Saturday night at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta. UVA finished with 551.5 points — the most since Stanford tallied 593 in 2018 — to blow past the competition as Texas (406) was second and the Cardinal (399...
For the second season in a row, the University of Virginia Cavaliers are the NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Champions. Led by head coach Todd DeSorbo, Virginia finished with 551.5 points to beat second-place Texas by 145.5 points. Virginia was led by a duo of three-event winners: Kate Douglass won the 50 freestyle, 100 butterfly and 200 breaststroke, all in American-record times, while Alex Walsh set an American record in the 200 IM before adding wins in the 400 IM and 200 butterfly.
Marilyn Moedinger, 39, founded Runcible Studios in 2013, two years after receiving her Master’s in Architecture from the University of Virginia. Previously she worked as a contractor and project manager at a construction firm in Charlottesville, Virginia, as an architectural designer at the firm Utile in Boston, and at the Boston Architectural College, where she still teaches as an adjunct professor. In 2010 she received the SOM Prize in Architecture, a $50,000 research and travel fellowship sponsored by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and published a book, “Adventures in the Vernacular: Inves...
Students from Auburn University, University of Virginia, University of Connecticut, and St. Thomas Aquinas (at Purdue), traded in their Spring Break to volunteer during Pensacola Habitat’s Collegiate Challenge.
Any university student in America who takes a literature course is likely to be assigned a Norton anthology — one of several collections of stories, poems and critical essays. UVA English professor Jahan Ramazani, editor of the Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry, says that, as a teacher, he knows that a poem without its context can be difficult for students. In putting together the most recent edition of the anthology, he introduces readers to 195 poets with brief biographies and discussions of each poet’s influences and themes. That background allows readers to quickly move on...
In 1967, Congress passed a law that banned at-large congressional elections following a series of election changes that included the Voting Rights Act of 1965. “The problem with [at-large congressional elections] is that it violates federal law,” said Bertrall Ross, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law who studies constitutional law. “I don’t see how that remedy can be adopted.”
University of Virginia law professor Douglas Laycock, an expert on religious liberty, told the California Globe that he does not think the federal claim is viable because under current jurisprudence the employer can easily justify a refusal to accommodate religious beliefs. “The employer doesn’t have to show much under federal law. An employer need only show that an exemption would impose more than a de minimis [minimal] cost. A single case of Covid can do that through sick pay for days off work or increased insurance costs; an outbreak of Covid in the workforce could impose huge costs.”
William Shobe, an economist at the University of Virginia who was part of a team of researchers who helped advise RGGI on the design of its market in 2004, said the idea that the market doesn’t provide incentives for emissions reductions “just isn’t true.” “Emissions have to fall under RGGI. They have to,” he said. “Because the budget requires that emissions go to zero in 2049.”
Russia's law generally prioritizes the needs of creditors who are owed money. This means creditors, including the Russian government, can force a company into involuntary bankruptcy and oust its management. Some legal experts said foreign companies fear Russian creditors could abuse that process to install leaders willing to sell their assets to business rivals or companies aligned with the Russian government. "In the late 90s and early aughts, this was often used as the device to raid companies" in post-Soviet Russia, said Paul Stephan, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law ...
A UVA Health nurse says there's a light at the end of the tunnel as the area marks the two-year anniversary of COVID-19 this week. Samantha Simmons, who worked in the COVID clinic, says she started her career at the hospital when the pandemic first began. Simmons says she averaged 16-hour shifts some days and she didn't see her family as much during this time. Despite these circumstances, Simmons says she's remained positive throughout her experience.
