NSF cuts, big box store solar panels, Hoosier Bison mascot | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on Indiana Newsdesk:

The National Science Foundation has cut funding for researchers that not only threaten their work but their employment. The funding cuts are part of the Trump administration’s policy to eliminate any program that mentions diversity, equity and inclusion.

With Indiana planning to ramp up installation of solar panels over the next five years, the big question is where to put them. One Fort Wayne business is already seeing the benefits of having solar panels on its roof.

And after nearly fifty years, Indiana University is bringing back the Hoosier Bison mascot for the fall.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on Indiana Newsdesk.
