For decades, students at the University of Virginia have abided by an honor code that dates back to 1842. The only penalty for those convicted of lying, cheating or stealing was expulsion. Now, students have voted for an honor system that supporters say is better suited to the 21st century.

The animals we call squid are long, soft creatures with big eyes, eight arms, and two tentacles used to catch prey. They’re fast swimmers, moving by jet propulsion, and they’re considered one of the most intelligent invertebrates. They’re able to change color, signal and hunt in packs. Now, their cells are the subject of study at the University of Virginia where engineers say they could be used to build great batteries.

It’s not unusual for older adults to experience problems related to sleep, and one in ten people over the age of 45 report memory problems getting worse. At the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing, experts hope to learn how sleep and mental decline are related, and they’re looking for volunteers to take part in a study from the comfort of their own homes.

The center could break ground in a matter of months and is already recruiting the first of 100 new scientists.

The man charged with killing three members of the University of Virginia football team and wounding two other students appeared in court this morning.
