Elections are inconvenient in the US. One UVa student is working to fix that.
As voters across Virginia consider all of their choices ahead of the November elections that will determine what Congress and the state constitution look like next year, a University of Virginia student has developed a tool designed to make at least one Election Day decision a little easier.

Virginia Tech training dogs to hunt down spotted lanternflies
The colloquial wisdom is that if you see it, stomp it. Virginians are no stranger to the spotted lanternfly, the red and grey polka-dotted insect and an invasive, destructive species that is now endemic to the state. But there's only so much a person can do to dent the population that threatens grapevines in Virginia's wine country and other native plants in the state, even with all the spotted lanternflies smashed on the sidewalk.

Coffee Vibes Keep the Caffeine Close
When volunteering on a series of farms a few summers ago, I met a man who would not eat chocolate. It’s grown on the other side of the world, he said. I shrugged my shoulders and split my bar of chocolate with another volunteer. There are pleasures even I will not give up, as much as I value eating locally. He has a point, though. I take care to learn where my produce, grains, meat and dairy comes from. But what about those things we can’t grow in this climate? Bananas? Chocolate?
