If you've been reading the blog, you'll recognize many of those names, and I share UVA President Jim Ryan's sentiments:
“This year’s awardees are an incredibly talented group of faculty who are working every day to advance the frontiers of knowledge and human progress," Ryan said. “I’m grateful for their efforts and excited about what’s next for research at UVA, across disciplines, schools and areas of study.”
