    MSU expert: How president-elect Trump could impact education
    Michigan State University

    Education is only becoming a bigger issue for both political parties. Questions and discussions surrounding the role of parents and their children’s education as well as funding and the use of school vouchers remain top of mind as we prepare for a new administration. President-elect Donald Trump could make significant changes to the U.S. Department of Education, as questions loom about the future of the department under Trump. Josh Cowen is a professor of education policy in Michigan State University’s College of Education. He has worked across the country on policy issues related to school choice, teacher quality and education reform. Cowen is the author of the new book The Privateers: How Billionaires Created a Culture War and Sold School Vouchers (Harvard Education Press). Here, he answers questions on what changes could come to education and what vouchers could mean for the U.S.

    ‘Inside the Box' Look at Excited Hadrons Could Help Solve Mystery of Particle X(3872)
    Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility

    So-called “XYZ states” defy the standard picture of particle behavior and have given rise to several attempts to understand their nature. But researchers with the Center for Theoretical and Computational Physics (Theory Center) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility say there is a simpler way to explain the abundance of exotic charmonium particles using lattice quantum chromodynamics.

    Lab-Grown Human Immune System Uncovers Weakened Response in Cancer Patients
    Georgia Institute of Technology

    These miniature immune system models — known as human immune organoids — mimic the real-life environment where immune cells learn to recognize and attack harmful invaders and respond to vaccines. Not only are these organoids powerful new tools for studying and observing immune function in cancer, their use is likely to accelerate vaccine development, better predict disease treatment response for patients, and even speed up clinical trials.
