Following the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the local population of gray wolves in northern Ukraine and Belarus has thrived, prompting scientists to investigate whether the wolves are genetically resistant to cancer or simply benefitting from reduced human interference. Researchers are eager to collaborate with them to understand the potential implications for human cancer research.
Erie, Pennsylvania is preparing for a population boom of 65,000 to 250,000 people during the total eclipse in 2024, as it is the only major city in Pennsylvania that will be in the path of totality.

Researchers from Ocearch have observed a significant increase in the number of great white sharks off the East Coast of the US, with the ocean teeming with life like it hasn't since the 1940s or 50s. Ocearch has been studying and tagging great white sharks for the last decade, tracking their migration patterns online. The team has studied over 90 great white sharks, collecting samples for 24 different scientific studies, including one that would test the shark's hormone levels to discern whether she was mating. A healthy shark population is better for the entire planet, says chief scientist Dr. Bob Heuter.
