Welcome to the Virginia Tech Community Resource pages of EverythingNRV.com. These pages are designed to provide you with resources that will provide you with two opportunities. You can either use the pages to find out more about what is happening in Virginia Tech, or you can use the resources to post news, events, organizations and announcements you may want others to know about.
The Community Resource menu is full of information specific to Virginia Tech. From the "What's Happening in Virginia Tech Today" on this page, to the community specific news, weather, pictures, events and organization pages. This section now open for Virginia Tech residents to congregate the pages and create a town hall meeting place for Virginia Tech residents on the Internet.
To find out more about Virginia Tech and answer any questions you might have as a newcomer, here are some links you may want to visit.

An ancient organism from the pit of a collapsed volcano may hold the key to tomorrow's hydrogen economy. Scientists from across the world have formed a team to unlock the process refined by a billions-year old archaea. The U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute will expedite the research by sequencing the hydrogen-producing organism for comparative genomics.
Some 50 years ago, after decades of effort, John Kendrew determined the structure of the small globular protein, myoglobin, which is responsible for oxygen storage in cells. For this discovery, he shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry with Max Perutz, who did similar work on hemoglobin. But a mystery remained: Exactly what paths does oxygen follow as it moves in and out of myoglobin?
Of the 82 of the nation's brightest young engineers selected to take part in the National Academy of Engineering's (NAE) 14th Annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering symposium, two are from Virginia Tech's College of Engineering.
