On Topic with IU

We talked with Tom Duzynski who is the Epidemiology Education Director at the Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI in Indianapolis, Indiana. He discussed hints that our stay at home practices and quarantine practices are working, how long it might be until we can start returning to more normal activities, what experts are continually learning about covid-19 and more.

We talked with Dr. Joel Wong about taking pleasure in the simple things in these troubling times. He talks about working with your children and creating an appropriate atmosphere within their new daily routines, the benefits of a simple walk, keeping in touch with people and something called gratitude journaling.

Joe Fitter teaches finance in the prestigious Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, where he is also director of the Strategic Finance Academy. He talked with On Topic about what we should be doing to make sure our household finances are in good order with the rapidly shifting economy. Don't cash in your 401Ks, DO make sure you've got several months of emergency money available to you, evaluate your discretionary spending and more. It's all On Topic with IU and Joe Fitter.
