Robert Ross
Wood Research Engineer
Other Forest Service
My favorite science experience is working on research projects that ultimately result in technical advances that help people. For example, scientists like me do work that influences all of the building codes in the United States. Building codes directly affect how homes, schools, churches, gymnasiums, and other buildings are constructed. The research you will read about in this article focused on understanding the differences between wood and steel doors—ultimately, it will result in beautiful doors, made of wood that will provide the security of steel doors.
