        <description><![CDATA[ Is there such a thing as an earthquake-proof house? Why is it actually a good thing when certain parts of a building fail during an earthquake? What should you do to protect yourself if you&#39;re inside when the ground starts shaking? Matt Eatherton, a professor in civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech, studies how buildings behave during earthquakes and how to design them to be more resilient. Using advanced computational models, lab testing, and real-world assessments, Eatherton&#39;s research helps engineering specialists design safer structures and save lives. Want to learn more?

        <link>https://news.vt.edu/articles/2026/01/vetmed-staff-spotlight-keatley.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ Meet Carrie Keatley, clinical pathology technologist at ViTALS since 2022. From chemistry to blood banking, she helps turn samples into answers that support animal care across the hospital. Carrie loves working alongside her talented team and learning something new every day. Whether she’s troubleshooting an instrument or sharing a laugh with colleagues, she brings care, curiosity, and a sense of purpose to her work—and a porch swing, a good book, and her three quirky cats to her evenings. ]]></description>

        <link>https://news.vt.edu/articles/2025/12/vetmed-staff-spotlight-dunn.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ Meet Drew Dunn, a veterinary assistant in neurology who joined the veterinary college in November 2020. Drew can identify many stars and constellations in the night sky and dreams of seeing the aurora over the Arctic. Inspired by his mom, &#34;the most generous person I have ever met,&#34; Drew is also appreciative of the doctors and technicians at the veterinary college helping him expand his skills and knowledge. He was particularly moved by one case of a dog who could no longer walk and was aggressive, seeing him not only walk on his own again but crawl into Drew&#39;s lap. A fitting motto for Drew&#39;s work, he said, is &#34;Helping Animals Walk Again ... One Step at a Time.&#34; ]]></description>

        <title>Fireworks to avoid during July 4th</title>
        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/k/2025/06/1_nf02ihzg.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ How can you stay safe while using fireworks during your Fourth of July celebration? Which fireworks are the most dangerous? How do fireworks cause eye injuries? Stefan Duma, University Distinguished Professor, the Harry C. Wyatt Professor of Engineering at Virginia Tech, demonstrates which fireworks are most likely to cause eye injuries. He explains Virginia’s firework laws and shares best practices for handling them safely. Duma, as founder of the Helmet Lab, studies all kinds of injuries. His research on eye and head injuries began with support from the Department of Defense to help protect military personnel from shrapnel. It has since expanded to include consumer products such as Nerf toys and fireworks. Curious about the Helmet Lab? Learn more below: https://bold.beam.vt.edu/BOLDLabs/HelmetLab.html ]]></description>
