We discuss creative ways to cook with summer’s abundance of vegetables in this week’s Food Friday segment. Then a UW-Madison social work professor tells us about a survey looking at men thinking doctors should ask them about domestic violence. And we talk with a former state representative about what we can learn from HIV/AIDS in dealing with the coronavirus.
