Sea sick; marine mammals are a barometer of ocean health
Article Abstract:
The study of marine mammals provides a better understanding of the ocean environment. More federal funding is needed to research the recent large number of deaths of certain dolphins and whales. Scientists are not convinced that man-made pollutants are the main cause of the deaths.

Material help; bioengineers produce versions of body tissues
Article Abstract:
Recent research is enabling scientists to engineer synthetic tissue. The technology will aid in surgery for facial deformities, disfigurements and missing sections of organs. Some scientists predict the material will be stronger than natural tissue.
