President Trump is proposing tough tariffs against overseas automakers. Depending on who you ask, it could accelerate the economy or put the brakes on affordable cars and trucks.

Why Michigan needs to draw more revenue from its booming bottled water industry. Michigan, the “Great Lakes state,” sits in the middle of one-fifth of the Earth’s surface freshwater. It has a higher percentage of surface water than any other American state. 

The U.S. just pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal. Will this be good or bad for Israel in the short run? What about in the long run?

The recently released 2017 results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP, often called the “nation’s report card”) show little change in Michigan’s dismal performance in fourth- and eighth-grade reading and math. Michigan’s rank among the states in fourth-grade reading ticked up six places, but only because other states slipped. 

The US embassy move should have been part of “final status” talks, not a premature and needless step to fulfill a rash campaign promise.

Wayne State University is adding a state-of-the-art robotically controlled observatory to its assets. But, the Dan Zowada Memorial Observatory is located on 40-acres in the mountains of New Mexico.

A bionic vest that reduces worker fatigue and can prevent injury is the focus of The Fix. The National host Andrew Chang visited in Michigan, where workers on the assembly line are equipped with an exoskeleton suit to reduce strain on their bodies — and he tries one on to see just how big of a boost it can give. 

Robert Sedler, a professor of law at Wayne State University, examines the First Amendment’s protection of free speech and people’s right to remain silent. Supreme Court Justices have previously ruled that the government cannot compel people to speak its message or associate with ideas they do not hold. The Supreme Court will decide two right-to-silence cases this term. “The First Amendment protects a person’s right to convey his own message, to voice her own ideas and not to be compelled to publicly disclose personal beliefs and associations,” he said. “When the government tries to compel a person to speak its message, these rights are seriously damaged. The right to free speech is likewise violated when people are required to associate themselves with an idea with which they disagree.”

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced that the United States would pull out of the Iran nuclear deal. The multi-nation agreement was designed to prevent Iran from pursuing nuclear armament in exchange for the elimination of sanctions against the country. The Iran deal was the result of a long negotiation process during the second term of President Barack Obama. Trump said the agreement’s 10-year life span was part of its inherent flaws, and that the United States will be safer pulling out of the agreement. Trump has explained how leaving the deal would make the U.S. safer. In fact, many experts say exiting the Iran deal only creates instability in an already fragile region, and hobbles the ability of the United States to negotiate agreements with other nations in the future. Wayne State University senior lecturer of Near and Middle East history and politics Saeed Khan agrees. “There’s no wisdom in this,” says Khan. “It…calls into severe question America’s credibility around the world in adhering to any deal beyond one presidential administration.” Khan says the move could even “aptly designate America around the world as a pariah state.” 

Janine Lanza, associate professor and director for the Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Program at Wayne State University, examines the intense interest many Americans have in the affairs of British royalty. “Our history and Constitution forbid noble titles from taking hold in this country. American culture traditionally prizes individual achievement and accomplishment rather than status conferred by birth,” she says. “However, the pomp and ceremony of Old World royalty have captivated a country with a brief history and no traditions to rival the pageantry that marks such royal events.”

A 2012 archaeological dig by Wayne State University uncovered hard evidence of a Purple Gang gambling room in the basement of this 19th century building, as well as the collapsed remains of a tunnel that allowed those in the know to access the space.

After what is often years of waiting and paperwork, some refugees from desperate situations around the world are fortunate enough to be accepted into the U.S. But then what? If you’ve been in a war-torn area or are a victim of torture, you’re glad to be safe.

Julie Lesnik from the department of Anthropology at Wayne State University in Detroit, said: "Insects are an important food source for billions of people in the world today but researchers tend to ignore this food source when reconstructing past diets.

Researchers at Wayne State University have found that a mother’s stress levels directly impact the brain development of babies in-utero — specifically that her stress can change the neural connectivity of her unborn baby’s brain.
