In the image you can see one of the researchers pouring the liquid amino acid cysteine into a jar of canned tuna. The study showed that this novel ‘active packaging’ technique removed up to 35 percent of the accumulated mercury in canned tuna, significantly reducing human exposure to mercury via food.

An illustration of the (A) pre-whaling and (B) post-whaling interactions between whales, shrimp-like krill (pink), and photosynthesizing organisms known as phytoplankton (top left of each panel) in the Southern Ocean. The decimation of whales in this ecosystem and coincident drop in krill in some former whaling grounds implies a large shift in the amount of iron available due to the loss of whales and thus micronutrients in whale poop (lower left).

Still frame images of Digit III, the middle toe, of a live Aneides vagrans. Images were taken with the salamander in a neutral posture on a flat surface from (A) dorsal, (B) lateral, and (C) ventral views. These images show the digital sinus and the bifurcated terminal phalanx of a living salamander; the structure of these features was corroborated by our histological preparations, shown in Figures 3 and 4.
