INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Ivy Tech Community College on Friday opened a new biopharmaceutical lab.

Ivy Tech officials say the Biopharma Science & Technology Lab will facilitate hands-on learning experiences for students. The lab is north of downtown Indianapolis in the Illinois Fall Creek Center at 2535 N. Capitol Ave.

Officials say the new lab will launch or advance careers in biopharmaceutical manufacturing through customized education and training.

Stacy Atkinson, chancellor of Ivy Tech, said at a ribbon-cutting on Friday, “I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride and excitement for what this moment represents. The state-of-the-art lab behind me is not just a physical space. It’s a beacon of opportunity for our Ivy Tech students, your future employees. It represents our unwavering commitment in providing the highest quality of education and hands-on experience that will empower our students to thrive in the dynamic field of pharmaceutical manufacturing.”

The new lab is part of Eli Lilly and Co.’s $15 million investment in the community college system through 2028.

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

He had one last throw left in that 44-year-old wing of his. For most of the afternoon, he’d been able to fool Father Time and frighten 68,771 Seattle Seahawks fans inside Lumen Field who’d come to bury Philip Rivers and, instead, watched him push their football team to the very brink of an impossible upset.

There had been a moment when it seemed Rivers might actually pull off the damn thing, too. That was with 1 minute and 55 seconds left in the game. The Colts led for so much of the game and were behind Seattle 15-13, but the ball was in the old man’s hands now. All day, he’d been careful and efficient. It got him a 13-3 lead at one point. Now, he needed to make a play.

And damned if he didn’t make a play.

Damned if he didn’t throw a 16-yard back-shoulder special to wide receiver Alec Pierce. Damned if that ball didn’t mean the Seahawks were now going to burn all of their timeouts because, in the NFL in 2025, just making it past midfield — as that throw did — means you’re in field goal range.

Philip Rivers comes out of retirement for Indianapolis Colts: NFL world reacts

The Indianapolis Colts have cooled considerably as the season has progressed, going from the NFL’s best record to out of the playoff picture entering Week 15 action.

But one of today’s notable storylines is the return of quarterback Philip Rivers after five years away from the NFL. He’s on the Colts’ active roster as they prepare to play the Seattle Seahawks.

The 44-year-old was on Lumen Field hours before kickoff, taking mental reps.

Colts QB Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending injury last week, and backup Riley Leonard suffered a knee injury, though he remains on the active roster. With Brett Rypien the only other QB on their roster and list of available QBs lacking, the Colts called the last signal-caller to lead them in a playoff game (after the 2020 season).

His comeback has piqued the interest of a former Colts coach and players, his former teammates on the Chargers, former NFL quarterbacks and even those from outside football.
