Cathy Weimer, an Indy woman, was heading home from a trip to London on Sept. 11, 2001. The plane had to make an emergency landing in Gander, Canada because airspace in the U.S. closed. Hear her story in her own voice describing the terror of learning about the attacks. https://bit.ly/4yDvDDn

For those of us who worked in ICUs during COVID, watching the character assassination of a leader who strove to provide counsel through a crisis has been deeply painful. It is even more disheartening when such rhetoric comes directly from a trustee of your own university.

A law passed this year breathed new life into the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission & put pressure on utilities to show how they’re protecting consumers. At the same time, Indiana is encouraging a buildout of data centers, & many in the energy sector worry that the grid will struggle to keep up.

In non-apocalyptic news, I am writing as a "Dance Dad" to proudly inform all that my daughter's dance team, the underdog of the season, somehow danced their way to the finals and got on stage at the major dance competition. She's a stage 4 cancer survivor who wants to dance, so...dance she must.
