AI data center proposed for downtown Lansing causes community backlash
Deep Green, a UK-based technology company, is looking to establish an AI data center in downtown Lansing in partnership with the Lansing BWL. The data center would be one of the first of its kind, taking waste heat and feeding it back into the city’s energy system — but community members are sharing concerns. WDBM’s Liam Clymer sat down with Mark Lee, CEO of Deep Green, and MSU Community Sustainability professor Doug Bessette to weigh the options.
No. 10 Michigan State drops third in four games, falls by 21 points to Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Badgers completed a wire-to-wire upset over No. 10 Michigan State, 92-71, on Friday night at the Kohl Center. ‘We got beat by a team that I think is better than us,” MSU head coach Tom Izzo said after the loss. The Spartans were no match for Badgers senior guard Nick Boyd, who scored 29 points on 10-of-15 shooting and 5-of-6 from deep. Boyd also collected a highlight reel ankle breaker on Spartans freshman Jordan Scott and converted on the subsequent open three-pointers. The Spartans are back at the Breslin Center on Tuesday, Feb. 17, for their next conference game against the UCLA Bruins.
MSU community gathers beneath Beaumont Tower on third anniversary of shooting
The Michigan State University community gathered around Beaumont Tower late Friday evening to commemorate the third anniversary of the Feb. 13, 2023, campus mass shooting. More than 100 people stood silently in the cold while music was played from the tower’s bells. At 8:18 pm, the bells rang twice in memory of Arielle Anderson and Alexandria Verner, and once more at 8:25 p.m., in honor of Brian Fraser — each of whom was killed in the shooting. The tower stood illuminated green as it had since dusk, along with the MSU Union and Berkey Hall, while people gathered in their winter gear, flowers in hand. The base of the tower was surrounded by luminary displays — white paper bags containing a green light — which people had placed ahead of the ringing of the bells.
MSU College of Human Medicine’s Dr. Mona Hanna recognized in TIME Magazine’s TIME100 health list
Dr. Mona Hanna, Michigan State University College of Human Medicine associate dean of public health, has been recognized in TIME Magazine’s 2026 TIME100 health list of the World’s Most Influential Leaders in Health. This is Hanna’s second time being recognized in TIME Magazine’s TIME100. In 2016, she was recognized for her work in uncovering the Flint Water Crisis and the exposure to lead’s impact on children, which led to recovery efforts. Hanna said MSU’s impact in human medicine has led to the creation of Rx Kids: the nation’s first community-wide maternal and infant cash prescription program. Launched in 2024 in Flint, Michigan, the program’s mission to be service-driven and population-focused helped the program. “I feel the College of Human Medicine embodies that ethos more than anywhere else in the university because we are the first community-based medical school,” Hanna said. “And we are a medical school that actually has public health embedded in medicine.”
