ANOTHER VIEWPOINT: Congress must unite behind China competitiveness bill
The Seattle Times
Letter to the editor: Support RAIA
American manufacturers need the protection patents provide, but they do not need bad actors trying to extort money from them by filing bogus patent infringement suits. That is why, as the owner of a Hoosier manufacturing company, I support a new bill in Congress aimed at reining in the destructive tactics of patent trolls.

Michael Hicks: Some surprising lessons from COVID learning loss
Last month, my colleague Dagney Faulk and I published a study on COVID-related learning loss in Indiana schools (available at https://projects.cberdata.org). The results were surprising and largely positive — or, at least, more hopeful than I expected. The purpose of this work was to better understand what factors contributed to learning loss. What we know so far has mostly been limited to simple descriptive statistics about changes in test scores. That is a good start, but it cannot speak to correlation, much less causation about learning loss. To do so requires more math.

MORRIS: ‘Snow days’ only a memory
Because I am an old man, snow scares me. Sometimes, I think it is downright evil.
