This week: Fallout from the COVID-19 crisis has dealt a serious economic blow to the clean energy industry. Plus, the combination of EPA's full-speed-ahead deregulation and COVID-19 "enforcement discretion" policy could put Hoosiers living near coal ash dump sites at risk.
Shandy Dearth is the director of undergraduate epidemiology education at the Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI. She explains pandemic surveillance, key indicators health experts will be looking for before relaxing stay-at-home orders, how to keep yourself safe at work and much more.
Parenting during a pandemic probably wasn't something you planned for, but licensed psychologist Dr. Beth Trammell has tips to help.
The IU East associate professor of psychology talks with host Emily Miles about helping kids cope with COVID-19.
We talked with Tom Duzynski who is the Epidemiology Education Director at the Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI in Indianapolis, Indiana. He discussed hints that our stay at home practices and quarantine practices are working, how long it might be until we can start returning to more normal activities, what experts are continually learning about covid-19 and more.
This week: Both the U.S. EPA and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management have adopted "enforcement discretion" policies that will allow some forms of environmental regulation noncompliance during the COVID-19 crisis, and a new study has found that people living in communities with more air pollution have a higher COVID-19 death rate than people living in less polluted communities.
We talked with Dr. Joel Wong about taking pleasure in the simple things in these troubling times. He talks about working with your children and creating an appropriate atmosphere within their new daily routines, the benefits of a simple walk, keeping in touch with people and something called gratitude journaling.
Emily Miles speaks with Brandy Muncy about coping with anxiety and depression in a social isolation context we're encountering during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Brandon Muncy is a counselor at Counseling and Psychological Services, serving the mental health needs of students at Indiana University's Health Center.
Joe Fitter teaches finance in the prestigious Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, where he is also director of the Strategic Finance Academy. He talked with On Topic about what we should be doing to make sure our household finances are in good order with the rapidly shifting economy. Don't cash in your 401Ks, DO make sure you've got several months of emergency money available to you, evaluate your discretionary spending and more. It's all On Topic with IU and Joe Fitter.
Dr Stephen Porges's work on the functioning of the vagus nerve, and its implications for trauma and relationships, has been revolutionising the practice of psychotherapy worldwide. In this meeting he discusses how mindfulness and yoga training may help us to better regulate our nervous system in a modern world that often knocks it dangerously out of balance - and comments on why this might be particularly important in politics.
Dr Sue Carter described how oxytocin may have a vital role in helping us to manage stress and navigate potentially traumatic experience, whilst building and strengthening our relational bonds. Sue's slides from the session can be viewed here.
Stephen and Sue were joined by Dr. Amit Bhargava, who offered some reflections on how the evidence they presented has important implications for the new 'social prescribing' trend in the NHS and applications of mindfulness and yoga interventions more broadly.

Trauma disconnects us from the body, from each other, and the world. Healing brings us home again. To ourselves, to our collective belonging, and to the world. Original description and video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwsjz8yYvTA
In this Law and Justice episode I speak with Dr Stephen Porges about the polyvagal theory, which is hugely influential among trauma practitioners with a specific focus on its relevance to the criminal justice system, including prisons. We discuss Dr Porges's concept of neuroception and what the autonomic nervous system needs to feel safe, as well as the gap between cultural, social and legal understandings of safety and risk. We also discuss the value and limits of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) science and the importance of public education about polyvagal theory, trauma, ACEs and survival responses in order to foster greater self-compassion and social support for survivors.
This week: Farmers face off against precipitation and pestilence to feed the country, and climate and medical professionals say there's a direct link between human health and the health of the environment.
Dr. Stephen Porges, creator of the Polyvagal Theory, discusses how we need to learn skills to "trigger" feelings of safety in the body.

Summary:
As early as the 1930s, lakes in the Adirondacks began registering fish loss. By the 1980s, visible forest dieback turned the attention of the United States to the acid rain crisis. Today, scientists are observing the biological recovery of the region.
This is the story of how it all happened.
In this episode:
Joe Goffman, Executive Director of the Harvard Environmental & Energy Law Program
Dan Josephson, long-time Cornell University Adirondack Fishery Research Program biologist
This week: The NOAA predicts above-average levels of rainfall and flood risk this spring, the Department of Defense it has identified many more military installations in the U.S. that may be contaminated with toxic PFAS chemicals.
This video is an overview of 200 years of change in the lives of Hoosiers with disabilities, produced by the Indiana Disability History Project. A very broad survey starting in the 19th century, the short video highlights the role of advocacy in pressing for the legislation and policy changes needed to secure the civil rights of Indiana's citizens with disabilities.
Part One: Hidden Away: By the end of the 19th century, Hoosiers with disabilities were considered to be a burden to society by the state. Indiana created institutions, placing people behind walls and locked doors.
Part Two: "Unfit" to Reproduce: In the early 20th century, experts promoted eugenics. They believed society could be improved by using biology and genetics to determine who was fit or unfit to live. In 1907, Indiana became the first state in the nation to legislate mandatory sterilization of some of its citizens.
Part Three: Living in the Community: Abuses in institutions came to light. Disability advocates pressed for closures. The establishment of group homes, community mental health centers, and sheltered workshops reflected a shift of funding into community services.
Part Four: The Struggle for Civil Rights: People with disabilities and their allies have fought for equal opportunities in employment, education, and housing, for equal access to public buildings and transportation. Because of these efforts, key U.S. civil rights legislation was enacted in the 20th century.
Part Five: Hoosiers with Disabilities: Today Hoosiers with disabilities are leading independent lives and contributing to their communities. But despite hard-won successes, inequalities persist in education, employment, economic status, and access to health care. The journey to full citizenship continues.
This brief video presentation outlines the rationale for the "For Students, By Students" Exam Review Assignment, explains the process, and provides examples of student work.

In the 1970s, Keith Ruble learned bowl hewing from legendary bowl maker Bill Day, while the two were demonstrating at the Indiana State Fair’s Pioneer Village. More than forty years later, Keith continues the craft, using an adze to chop out vessels in a variety of shapes, including traditional rectangles, ovals, animals, and even the state of Indiana. This version of the documentary does not have narration. This video follows Keith through the creative process: cutting out blanks, chopping out the container, and finishing a bowl.
A bowl adze is a special and hard to find tool used to hew or chop bowls. Machinist and blacksmith Dave Voges began making these special adzes when his friend Keith Ruble asked him if he could help him design better tool. Based on Keith’s bowl-hewing knowledge and Dave’s skill, the two designed what many consider one of the best bowl adzes available. Bowl hewers across Indiana prize these special tools. When the elder blacksmith learned that Jon Kay from Indiana University was going to video him making his tools, he decided to have some fun and affix a plaque from his alma mater and IU rival university, Purdue, on his power hammer. Sadly, Dave passed away before this project could be completed. I had intended to interview him about the making process, but it was not to be. Kay dedicate this video to the memory of David Flesher Voges (1940-2017) of Terre Haute, Indiana.
Generations of Alan Richards’ family has lived in Brown County, where log houses and split-rail fences have remained part of the landscape. Once his grandchildren were old enough, he recruited them to help him split rails at the local Antique Tractor and Gas Engine Show in Nashville. This video was shot of Alan and his grandson Porter splitting rails at an Arts in the Parks event at TC Steele State Historic Site. From straight grain red and black oak trees, Alan starts to split the log with an ax; once the log cracks, Porter uses a set of wooden wedges and splitting maul to cleanly split the length of the log. They repeat this until the log is split into quarters. They can spend all day transforming a pile of logs into a length of fence.
James Timberlake’s lecture, FULLNESS: Next, explores how FULLNESS: The Art of the Whole might be interpreted through unbuilt work, future work, and current research – revealing the art, science, and beauty of architecture in data, fact, and logic, and in the seams of program, life, work, and production.
In this episode, host Elaine Monaghan sits down with Indiana University professor of psychology Tom James.
James is one of the founders of "Advocates and Allies for Equity", which runs auxiliary to the Center of Excellence for Women and Technology. Advocates and Allies focuses their work on educating themselves, and other men, about gender equity through workshops dedicated to removing unconscious bias and promoting awareness of gender discrimination.
James' background in psychology gives him unique insight into these biases, and he discusses how, even beyond gender discrimination, we all carry these biases with us and how we can work to be better.
This week: Two Indiana-based companies are in charge of destroying the DoD's PFAS firefighting foam, and Congress takes a crack at the nation's plastic waste crisis.
The world we live in is complex. Individuals change, evolve, and grow as they experience the world and others around them. Agent-based and computational models can help us account for the complexity and dynamics of interactions among individuals. This seminar will include an introduction to agent-based models, explore some prominent examples, and provide a brief primer on how to approach these models.
The Sample: This week, Tiny Dorm Concert directors Linnea Holt, Natalie Almanza, and Eric Ashby chat about the start of the brand, all the work that goes into their videos, and the skills they've learned along the way.

Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake proceed from the belief that architecture is most resonant, beautiful, and artful when it connects deeply across levels and dimensions in ways that resolve into a new whole—a whole that is expansive, unified, and far greater than the sum of its parts. Their lecture FULLNESS: The Art of the Whole explores how beautiful design arises from the art and science of a deep, query-based research process, and includes many individuals and many (often competing) influences. Central among these influences is an ethical commitment to researching and envisioning anew the ways in which architecture and planning can address some of the most pressing issues of our time: the international crisis of affordable shelter and the role that carbon consumption plays in global warming and the decimation of our physical environment. Using project examples from the past decade, they will discuss the evolution of their creative process over time, the expanding role of communication in their work, and how innovative new modeling and analysis technologies can become tools for dialogue and collaboration.
Students are at the heart of a university campus. How students respond to local, national, and international events provides insight into student life and their socio-historical contexts that define a campus and that campus’ unique history. The Bicentennial Student Newspapers Project aims to digitize student newspapers across five IU campuses: IU East, IUPUI, IU Kokomo, IU Northwest and IU South Bend. Those papers will join the IU Southeast student newspapers already digitized to create a rich corpus of IU-wide student newspapers ripe for research. Once digitized, over 50,000 pages of student newspapers spanning the 1930s to the 2010s will be available for discovery in Pages Online by Summer 2020.
