Tom Duszynski is an epidemiologist, and the epidemiology education director of the Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI in Indianapolis.

When stay-at-home orders were issued parents became teachers. And now that summer is here, parents are wondering what happens with their children's fall enrollment. We talked with Indiana University sociologist Jessica Calarco, who researches the impact of social inequalities on families, children, and schools, about what we might see when school is back in session.
The coronavirus is changing a summer, and the upcoming fall season, of political campaigns. Traditional big rallies aren't taking place, large events that often feature campaigns or get out the vote drives are postponed or canceled, door-to-door electioneering may be impacted as well. Dr. Matthew Baggetta of the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs joins us to talk about local election strategies, messaging and what's to come as we look ahead in the campaign calendar.
Professor Laura Littlepage from the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs joins us to discuss a recently completed study, Homelessness in Greene County, Indiana.
We talk about the unique issues that are brought about by people experiencing homelessness in rural areas, from a lack of services, the difficulties involved with helping those in need in a geographically broad area, simply coming to understand the extent of the population impacted, and much more.

Indiana's state Department of Education has begun announcing plans for what the start of the 2020-2021 school year will look like. And the state's many school corporations are making their individualized plans to teach and keep children safe. We talked with Jill Shedd, Indiana University's assistant dean for teacher education, about what the classroom experience may be like for young learners this fall.
Nationally, student loan debt reached $1.6 trillion last year. That works out to somewhere between $200 and $300 for alumni paying off their personal student loans, but the economic downturn has a lot of people in a pinch. The U.S. Department of Education says about 20 percent of borrowers are in default, and a recent Pew study found most were concerned about how they'd make their next payment.
To counter the national problem, the Biden administration extended the student loan grace period until September 2021. We talked with Phil Schuman, who is the executive director of Financial Wellness and Education at Indiana University -- Bloomington, to see what this means for alumni, students and potential borrowers.

Dr. Betty Walton and Dr. Saahoon Hong are researchers and professors at Indiana University’s School of Social Work who are using machine learning — data analysis that automates analytical model building — to study almost 30,000 cases of adults using about 100 variables in a decade-long longitudinal study.
This innovative research is built off anonymized data from the Adult Needs and Strengths Assessment and is aimed at helping those coping with mental health issues, identify intersections mental health illness and suicidal ideation and develop a suicidal prevention/recovery model within the mental health system.

Kyle Anderson, an economist at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business at IUPUI, joins us to discuss the state's economic condition as we make our way through August. He talks about the prospects for recovery, sectors hardest hit, evictions, personal advice and more.
After an abrupt end to organized sports in the early spring we endured several months without some of our favorite pastimes. Amidst everything else, it was one more sad loss of normalcy.
But then, suddenly in September, we found a different kind of historic moment, a very exciting bit of history in a sports context.
We talked with Dr. Lauren Smith, a professor of sports media in The Media School at Indiana University-Bloomington about sports, fandom and the sporting world bringing more attention to social justice issues.
