On a remote island in Lake Michigan, some old apple trees could have very rare, ever-before-discovered genes. And if they do, they could join the U.S. stockpile of apples poised to fight off future threats.
Iceland has figured out how to use almost 100% of every fish caught – not just the filet. By making things like durable leather, beauty products and skin graft bandages, it’s increased the value of Atlantic cod from about $15 to over $5,000. Can this approach help the struggling Great Lakes fishery?
