FireLaura Hasburgh, Fire Protection Engineer
- Ph.D. (candidate), University of Wisconsin-Madison
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Fire protection engineers apply science and engineering principles to protect people, property, and their environments from the harmful and destructive effects of fire and smoke. Specifically, I research the fire performance of wood and wood-based building materials to ensure that a building can be safely designed.

Bruce A. Schumacher, Paleontologist
- Ph.D., South Dakota School of Mines
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Paleontology is the study of past life on Earth, from single-celled organisms to vertebrate animals. A paleontologist thinks about the idea of humans on Earth which has geologic layers filled with extinct life forms spanning billions of years.
