The Friday Pitch-In

April 24, 2020

Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home order was extended this week. We talk about changes made to the order, including a relaxed restriction on elective surgeries. And the state superintendent says students may continue e-learning through part of the summer.

We also find out how Hoosiers can contribute to the scientific community from the comfort of their own backyards, or nearby parks, for a nationwide study on urban biodiversity. And a Notre Dame professor talks about the relationship between political polarization and compliance with COVID-19 safety guidelines.
