A University of Iowa law professor advised Iowans to delete their genetic profiles from 23andMe after the company filed for bankruptcy this week—she noted that the privacy policy lets new owners sell data and change its rules.

Cedar Rapids police arrested three siblings—Christian Baseme, Pierre Baseme, and Azane Baseme—after investigating the November 9 death of 18-year-old Ezekiel Baseme at a home on Roemig Street SW and charged them with involuntary manslaughter, assault causing bodily injury, and false imprisonment.

Alliant Energy has partnered with Indian Creek Nature Center to test a fully electric school bus in Iowa’s cold weather—collecting data on charging patterns and energy use to compare it with a diesel bus.

The solar-powered center will use the study to help plan future energy needs.

On March 28th, the Iowa legislature sent the governor a bill that would let physician assistants work in Iowa with a multi-state license.

Nestlé USA said a small number of Lean Cuisine and Stouffer's frozen meals are recalled because they might have pieces of wood in them.

Customers who bought these items at Iowa stores like Hy-Vee between August 2024 and March should return them to the store.
