Thanks to people like Johannsson, a huge freezer in the basement of deCODE's gleaming, modern Reykjavík headquarters now holds blood samples from about 100,000 individuals, roughly half of Iceland's adult population.

Even teachers who are eager and equipped often face daunting curricular goals--U.S. science texts usually cover many more topics than international ones do. "Compared...
