Here are some of my favorite shots that I took on my trip to DC that I took while not photographing my English roommate.

Boris Vinatzer

Boris Vinatzer, assistant professor of plant pathology, physiology,
and weed science in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, is
using new genome sequencing technology to test a hypothesis about how
agriculture's early beginnings may have impacted the evolution of
plant pathogens. He is investigating whether plant pathogenic
bacteria evolved from relatively weak pathogens that caused disease
in many plants to highly virulent pathogens of single crops.

Smart Break Lights

Mehdi Ahmadian, PhD, and Director of the Center for Vehicle Systems & Safety, along with Virginia Tech grad students have engineered smart break lights that indicate how quickly the person in front of you is breaking. Nifty!
