Purdue University

Via @jakequery: “Sub zero temps and IU/Purdue trading punches. I missed you, 1994.”

Hip kids’ store Roman & Leo knows that little ones are sports fans, too.

“We were one of the biggest and best church-sponsored programs in the country,” says Byers. “Race was never really an issue.”

While the new menu highlights “Indiana Home-Cookin’ Entrees,” we tasted flashes of sophistication in the extras.

From planting herbs in containers to becoming a master gardener, these sessions will help you discover your roots.

There’s plenty of precedent for trying to extend human lives by studying dogs. Canine research helped pioneer the use of insulin for diabetics and blazed the path for anti-hormonal prostate cancer treatments.

Says the actress, “It is my belief that the greatest obstacles facing the transgender community are points of view that disavow our identities and suggest that no matter what we do, we are always the gender we are assigned at birth.”

Accompanied by video clips, this list of hits highlights not only the super-human forces involved in football, but also the importance of the research that Purdue University scientists are now conducting.

Two researchers found that even small hits might cause permanent brain damage—and they’re pioneering new technology to protect the next generation.

I don’t want to give up football—and I’m guessing the players don’t want to, either. But they need to be protected. That’s something that we, the fans, can get behind.

Filled with a darling mix of bohemian and retro treasures displayed cottage-style, it’s like Indiana’s version of Anthropologie—and reasonably priced.

Plus, HEN CITY: Clubs, classes, and more resources for backyard chicken farmers.

Poet Marianne Boruch has won other awards in the past, but nothing prepared her for the news that she’d won the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award, the largest monetary prize for a single collection of poetry in the world. Boruch, who has been teaching at Purdue for nearly three decades, won the $100,000 award for her 2011 collection The Book of Hours. Nature-oriented poems dominate the collection, borne out of the extended periods Boruch spent in the woods over the past five years. Other poems in the collection depict people in more everyday settings, and some ruminate on poetry itself. As she prepared to leave for yesterday’s award ceremony at Claremont Graduate University in California, Boruch talked with IM about the award, her book, and great poetry.

Monday saw a windy late-summer evening on Purdue University’s campus as a crowd gathered to honor the legacy of Neil Armstrong. We all know him as the man who flew to the moon and back, but the students of Purdue University know a humble man. 

Neil Armstrong is a boyhood hero of mine. He is one of my heroes not because he was the first man to walk on the moon, although that has something to do with it. He is my hero because he came from my hometown of St. Marys, Ohio.
