What started as lunch with Nipun Chopra from Soc Takes quickly became examining mice brains under a microscope and a tour of Indianapolis with Slaughterhouse 19‘s Peter Evans.
Check out my day in the Snapchat story above, or scroll down to see some of the embedded tweets, if that’s more your style.

When not covering soccer, Nipun is a “post-doctoral researcher studying Alzheimer’s Disease & Traumatic brain injury.” (Thanks, Twitter bio!) He invited me into the lab to see what that is exactly.
After that, Peter showed me around town including stops at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, donuts at Long’s Bakery, a walking tour of the city and Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, Lucas Oil Stadium, the convention center, and more before capping of the day at Union Jack Pub, where we were joined by former Indy Eleven executives John Koluder and Tom Dunmore.
