James Gabriel Duncan

I am a senior in Environmental Science at the School of Natural Resources and the Environment. My interest in the UF/IFAS Bioenergy Internship Program is in the microbial processes involved in biorefining, ethanol, and most of all biogas production. I believe that biogas and other bioenergy technologies hold the key to help us unlock a fossil fuel free future.

I am interested in life/physical sciences and am currently majoring in Botany at the University of Florida. I am also interested in alternative energy research, plant-plant communication, mutualisms, agro technology, bioluminescence, medicinal plants, ethnobotany, music, reading, problem solving, and sustainability. I am a member of the Environmental Action Group of Alachua County, UF BEST Society, NORML UF, and the UF Honors Program.

I am a senior in the English Department of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. I became interested in the UF/IFAS Bioenergy Internship Program through a friend who was subscribed to the BEST list serve and I was intrigued by the biodiesel aspect. Even though I do not have a scientific background, I am learning a lot by working on something completely different than I am used to.

I am a senior in Environmental Science at the School of Natural Resources and the Environment. I became interested in the UF/IFAS Bioenergy Internship Program because my academic interest is sustainable development in Latin America and I thought bioenergy technology would be a possible answer for the energy aspect of sustainability. My knowledge of bioenergy was very limited before I started this internship but I am learning a lot about bioenergy through this program.

I am a senior in the College of Engineering, majoring in Environmental Engineering. I became interested in the UF/IFAS Bioenergy Internship Program because I want to learn more about converting waste into bioenergy. I believe that waste should be not be a problem, but become a solution.

I have been studying Environmental Science in school for 6 years. One year left until graduating with a B.A. in Environmental Science. Have currently been involved in 3 internships studying urban growth issues in South Florida, agricultural conservation districts in Washington, D.C. and bioenergy alternatives, respectively. After graduation, I will be employed in Washington, D.C. at an environmental non-profit.
