Franz Josef St. John, Microbiologist
- Ph.D., University of Florida
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- A microbiologist studies microscopic organisms to understand how these organisms live and how they interact with the environment. Microscopic organisms are so small that microbiologists must use microscopes to see them.

Alan Rudie, Inorganic Chemist
- Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Although an inorganic chemist by training, I have spent my career working on the science of wood pulping and bleaching to make paper. Pulping has aspects of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and chemical engineering.
