I was honored tonight to have been asked to serve as a judge for the 1st Indianapolis Public Schools Innovation Fair where teams (K-12) created STEM projects to solve challenging world problems. The winner: Ana from School #84- whose project to clean up the oceans has real merit!

While watching the NYC Thanksgiving parade I was surprised and overwhelmed after seeing this incredible 2min video encouraging young girls/women to pursue STEM at Purdue. It made me want to apply! Purdue President Mitch Daniels- this is terrific. Thanks

Her name is Senator Mallory McMorrow. And she is exactly what we need today. An articulate politician and a public servant with the courage to fight back.

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.
Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

The antiquated Indiana system for COVID contact tracing is not working. Cases have exploded are about to do so again. It is time to move to a modern, automated, efficient system as over half of other states have done. It will save lives and money. Now.

via I can’t contain my outrage. My anger. My angst. All of those involved and responsible must be identified and they must removed from patient care. No more excuses. No more hiding behind HIPPA confidentiality.
This is hideous.

We lost another doctor today
To COVID
But this doctor was mistreated. Her symptoms were ignored, downplayed and dismissed. She posted a heartbreaking video begging her fellow doctors to help save her...
She called the patient advocate...
She called the chief medical officer...

Angela is right to be worried- COVID has made interpersonal violence worse- we are at record levels. The 2 best solutions:
1. Make it harder for those who should not have guns to get them.
2. Treat violence as a public health issue rather than simply a criminal justice issue.

Indiana is not simply on fire- Indiana is in a COVID inferno. We can’t assume that the new vaccine works immediately and that masks and therefore other precautions can be abandoned. It will be many months before we see real progress. Protect those you love.

The President and Indiana's Governor don't want you to think about the 4,124 Hoosiers who have died from COVID when you go to vote. But we cannot forget these lives and those who we can still protect from the virus.
Vote for science and serious leadership. Vote Myers/Lawson.
