First on the show, an update on the drying-up of Michigan's dam repair funds with Bridge Michigan environment reporter Kelly House.

Plus, Aitor Aguirre, PhD, an associate professor in the department of biomedical engineering at Michigan State University, told us about new miniature models of the human heart which will aid medical research.
