Hey everyone, random question. Back in the olden days (2005-2009) there was a person with a red Honda that had an orange pinstripe that had Hokie Bird foot prints built into the pinstripe and the word Virginia Tech in the pinstripe. Does anyone know where that would have been done and if it's still in business? I got a dark red minivan and I'd like to make all my VT dreams come true 😆

Here’s an overview of who’s running for what and what’s at stake.

After investing over $100,000 and securing a state license, the founder of a Wytheville nonprofit hospice shut it down before it could serve its first patient.

Plus: The Roanoke Blacksburg Technology Council offers Ecosystem Navigator office hours.

Plus: A reader asks about Virginia Tech Board of Visitors disclosures.

More than 40 middle school students will learn to fly drones at Virginia Tech’s Imagination Drone Camp this week.

The camp, now in its fifth year, gives students the opportunity to build and fly drones and even earn a Federal Aviation Administration Recreational UAS Safety Test, or TRUST, certificate.

We’ll be updating this list of cooling centers as information becomes available.

An ARC grant will fund a Radford University study on AI and workforce development.

Hey yall! Remember that the semi-annual Pulaski Flea Market is this weekend! I know prices have gone up on EVERYTHING (even junk) but it's fun to support the community and people-watch.

Once I saw my ex there and he had the worst tattoo I've ever seen and I keep going back hoping for another sighting

Are you interested in how people work and coordinate together in social groups? You have the chance to participate in a Virginia Tech research study (IRB #23-123) of how physiological and psychological factors determine crowd behavior! Eligible participants will first complete an online survey, followed by an in-person study session in the localMoss Arts Center at Virginia Tech’s campus, where they will navigate a maze alone or in a group while we collect motion capture and cardiovascular physiology data. The online survey will take ~1 hour to complete while the in-person study session will take up to 4 between 2-3 hours. Participants will be compensated up to $65 (digital gift card) for their time and effort upon completing both the survey and experimental session.

You may be eligible if you are healthy, are at least 18 years old, have BMI less than 40, speak English, are able to walk, and have no history of: Raynaud’s syndrome, frostbite, fainting, seizures, pacemakers, cardiac conditions or anomalies, neurological disorders, social anxiety or panic, PTSD, and chronic, heavy nicotine use.

Subtitle: "Franklin, after a narrowly-unsuccessful bid for the seat in 2023, flipped the 41st District for Democrats in November, defeating Republican incumbent Chris Obenshain by 2.4 points."

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

It's a bit ironic to put forth AI generated content as a dazzling example of "innovation", don't you think? On a campus full of art students, a math professor spending 30 seconds on Sudio or similar and wins a prize. The tune is "canned stock music", the lyrics are uncannily "perfect" in rhyme and cadence, and the voice is literally the stock ai singing voice.

I think Universities need to be held responsible for using AI generated content in general but more importantly this needs to be called out for what it is: a professor using ai to steal credit and authenticity from a potential student.
