Study after study provide us with lots of information. We’re bombarded with what’s good and what isn’t - and we know we in the media don’t exactly help the situation.

Today, we were joined in the studio by Joanne Manaster. She’s a faculty lecturer in biology at the University of Illinois, and a science communicator - @ScienceGoddess on Twitter.

On the 21st, we’ve been taking part in a national project called Re:Dream - Re-imagining the American Dream. We’ve had conversations about how that dream has changed, how Dreamers - undocumented students - are advocating for themselves here in Illinois.

This Saturday, May 12, we’re hosting an event in collaboration with the Multicultural Community Center called American Dream Reimagined. You are invited - everyone’s welcome - we’ll be talking about family stories! That’s free, at noon, at the Multicultural Center in Rantoul.
