This week’s Friday Pitch-In kicks off with a recap of the latest news around the coronavirus pandemic, and how it’s impacting Indiana. We touch base with our digital producer to find out the current number of cases in Indiana, and how sharply we anticipate those figures will rise in the coming weeks.
We also talk to an author of a children’s book called “Wake Up Woods,” about some of the first spring wildflowers you can find after the long Indiana winter. And we talk to one of the people behind a major observatory and STEM education project planned for Westfield, Indiana.
Produced by Matt Pelsor.
