Science in Charlottesville

In the final years of his long productive life, Thomas Jefferson established what is now the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He wanted a place where students could get a science education.

Today the Chesapeake and Potomac Chapter of SETAC comes to UVA to show what we have learned.

The photo below is the Poe Room maintained by the Raven Society on campus just as it was when Edgar Allen Poe was a student.

You can soar with eagles here on campus.

More on the conference and other events this week.

  1. Have a great conference – but take time to enjoy Charlottesville – one of my favorite cities on the East Coast!

    • Was a good conference, and got to explore Charlottesville a bit. Even saw “Poe’s Room” at UVA.

  2. Just realized the photos are fuzzy. I posted these off my phone remotely and I have to admit that didn’t work too well in this case. Sorry about that.

  3. Re-edited the photos so hopefully clearer now.
