WVU Charleston Research Day

Today is Research Day at WVU Charleston. This year we have faculty, residents, and students giving approximately 65 presentations of cases, original research, and posters. Fantastic! We had a few presentations last evening, too.

June 20th is West Virginia Day

I was listening to West Virginia Morning on public radio today. One of the segments focused on the blog, abetterwestvirginia.com, and the blogger Jason Keeling. He encouraged bloggers to use West Virginia Day (which is Friday) to focus on all the many positive aspects of the state.

I'm a new resident of West Virginia, and it's nice to hear there's a day that celebrates the state and its people. I like the natural and wild areas in the region. Plus, my coworkers and other people here in the Charleston area have been very nice to me. People are friendly, helpful, and generous.
