Enrico Uva

If I was an ultraviolet absorption researcher at the University of Virginia, I could be the proud author of the title, "UVA on UVA at UVA." For more of vanity's sake,---I hope not---I assembled a list of my articles a few weeks ago when I thought the well was running dry. Then suddenly I got a few more fun ideas. For writers out there who may be experiencing similar blogger's block, and who have not already organized their output, give it a try to see if a similar coincidence unfolds for you. Of course, you could find any chemistry or physics-related article from finer authors at Science 2.0 in a chronological list under the "physical sciences" heading, or you could see the chemistry articles directly from here or there for physics. Meanwhile here's my compilation.
