In this June 10, 2016 photo provided by the Mayo Clinic, a medical team of about 60 doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists and others at Mayo Clinic gather before performing the first face transplant surgery at their hospital in Rochester, Minn. Mardini and his team devoted more than 50 Saturdays over 3 1/2 years to rehearsing the procedure, using sets of cadaver heads to transplant the face of one to another. They used 3D imaging and virtual surgery to plot out the bony cuts so the donor's face would fit perfectly on Andy Sandness. (Michael Cleary/Mayo Clinic via AP) (AP)

After the spill, the number of the turtles' nests dropped 40 percent in one year in 2010. "We had never seen a drop that dramatic in one year before," according to Selina Saville Heppell, a professor at Oregon State University. The population climbed in 2011 and 2012 but then fell again in 2013 and 2014, down to levels that haven't been that low in nearly a decade, she said. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, File) (AP)
