The University of Talaris (UT) was “originally established as a joint US-Philippine advanced research campus,” and it is “the birthplace of IO Fox’s early VDMH-1 cold-fusion work.” It occupies “a gentler valley running from mid-slope down toward a secondary harbor,” and within The JD Strip it forms Compact Barangay 04, the “Talaris Technopark.”
IO took a visiting research post at UT after losing the US H-1B visa lottery three years running. The campus cafés, including FluffCakes and Barako Bear, are listed under The JD Strip.
