Nicole Stoker Russell The bio-synthetic contest was very neat to hear about. I am sending a link to that podcast to our high school's biotech teacher. Let's set the bar as high as possible!

Athena Helbing

Athena Helbing Your fish story this morning makes me think about the Japanese diet. Do they have a higher mercury content in their body's than the global norm? Just I would ask...
....Oh yeah, what about fish oil supplements? Can we trust the oil we buy in the supermarkets? Is there another oil we can take that has the same effects in trying to shift to a more fish friendly way of life?

Michael

Michael Where should we go to make more informed decisions about the fish we eat? I really love to eat fish whenever I have a chance. It makes me feel healthy. Thanks.

With regard to sustainable harvest, the key is to find workable solutions based on the best science available. It is my opinion an all or nothing approach is not an option.

It can be done.
If you are concerned about how healthful fish is to eat, many coastal states have state or federal agencies that monitor the mercury content (along with other possible contaminants) of commercial and game fish.

Good luck.

Rob Hays

Rob Hays Yes [ although it sounds as though this should be "Science & Engineering Friday" - but i love it anyway.

Will there be a program on turtles on Science Friday? And I took a course with Professor Utter at Purchase College, and besides being a great teacher, he is one the best environmentalist in the world. Thanks to everyone who is involved with preserving our vulnerable wildlife!
