A new online collection from Indiana University Archives is preserving pieces of movie and Hoosier history. 🎥

Now available digitally, the collection includes screenplay drafts, photos and production materials from Oscar-winning screenwriter Steve Tesich, best known for the film Breaking Away. Tesich’s Indiana experiences, including riding in IU’s Little 500, helped inspire the movie and shaped a story that resonated far beyond Bloomington.

See the collection and learn more about the enduring impact of one of Indiana’s most celebrated writers:

IU College of Arts and Sciences researcher Rita Patel is advancing wearable technology to improve the visibility and safety of young athletes.

Patel, founder of Aerly Diagnostics, designed a device to detect exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction, a difficult-to-diagnose breathing disorder that affects an estimated 1 out of 4 adolescent athletes. To help bring her technology into practice, she joined the second cohort of the IU Health Incubator at IU LAB Pre-Accelerator powered by gener8tor.

“I had just received my grant and had a device that I knew could help patients, but I didn’t know anything about startups,” Patel said. "The genera8tor program helped me think differently about how to build something beyond the lab. It was a new, eye-opening experience, something I never considered: how to build a company and think like a businessperson.”

The Environmental Resilience Institute at Indiana University is branching out to help Hoosier communities manage and expand local tree canopies. 🌳🤲

Through the IU Environmental Resilience Institute’s (ERI’s) Resilience Cohort, nine local communities are developing tailored tools to plan for and manage their urban forests. In addition to the current program, ERI is launching a new cohort track to support long-term community resilience through the development of urban forest master plans.

“As Indiana’s climate becomes warmer and wetter due to climate change, the services provided by trees — including cooling shade, stormwater management, and air filtration — will become increasingly valuable assets that can help Indiana cities, towns, and counties thrive," said ERI Managing Director Sarah Mincey.
