A judge has temporarily blocked a major policy change announced last week by the National Institutes of Health. It would have significantly reduced payments to universities, hospitals, and other research institutions. If the change goes through, how will it affect Rhode Islanders, and the many places here that get funding from the NIH? Also, we hear about a project from the Boston Globe, highlighting more than 300 New England locations featured in the Green Book, the famous guide that listed safe places for Black travelers from the 1930s to the 1960s. Plus, a conversation with writer and director Dave Solomon, the latest artist-in-residence at Westerly Library and Wilcox Park. That and more on this week’s show.
