[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the Nobel laureates funnel from the same 15 institutions. I doubt we will ever see another Nobel laureate from UVA again.

Fixed it for you    [/quote]

Last two VA schools to win it are VCU and GMU. It's possible but UVA/VA Tech have the isolation working against them. The older prestigious professors  can do more work near larger cities and they don't need validation from a T10 school.

That old UCSB/Yale guy that won - he also works at Google.[/quote]

Cornell is isolated in a city smaller the Charlottesville, but it still churns out Nobel winners[/quote]

Let me rephrase - unless you are a school with established facilities like: Lawrence Livermore for Berkeley  or JPL for Caltech or Fermilab for U. of Chicago or Brookhaven for Cornell ... These are all Federal labs run mainly by universities.

then you need to attract a professor who likely is a candidate for a Nobel Prize. Those chances are greater for urban campuses as they can be part other organizations. GMU Law is a perfect example of attracting Federal/Supreme Court judges primarily because of geography. Yes I know Georgetown law is near by but Georgetown is established and the fight on who's top dog begins. GMU is nearby and it's clear who's MJ on this team.  Until the Berkeley dude wins a Nobel Prize that dude is always second chair at UMD but probably Dept Head at GMU. [/quote]
