IndyStar The Scrub

From IndyStar

You may have seen our post on The Scrub Facebook page where we have a form asking for questions that folks may have. Our plan is that we are going to take these questions – whether a science-geared question or one that is more procedural or a “how to” – and answer them in a very straightforward way. Almost similar to an “Ask us” column, we are calling it Scrub Hub.

We officially launched our Scrub Hub initiative this morning! We have two stories out: one introducing The Scrub Hub and how it works, and the other being the look at Mayor Hogsett’s environmental and sustainability record.

Books Booze & Brains

From Indiana Humanities

At long last, three of our favorite things—books, booze and science—are coming together in a new monthly book club for the scientifically curious! This new group will meet monthly at Upland Brewing FSQ in Indianapolis to talk about recent popular science books. A local scientist whose research relates to the book topic will join us to share insights and help guide the conversation.
