A First-Hand Report by High School Scientist, Erika Tan, Explores the Highs and Lows of Research
 Advanced Biofuels USA always welcomes thoughtful inquiries from students of all ages. We've fielded calls from elementary school students through graduates working on Ph.D's and have met some wonderful, exciting people in that way, people with whom we have developed lasting relationships. Calls and emails come from around the US and the world.
Recently, two young women from Freehold High School in New Jersey who were preparing a contest proposal for the MIT THINK competition sought a source for cellulosic hydrolysate that they could list in their proposal and count on if they were chosen to continue.
 At my request, Erika Tan put to paper the story of their experience, the initial ideas, the pivots, the excitement, the developing of relationships, the character-building experience of profound disappointment. Her story reflects the stories of so many others engaged in this advanced biofuels enterprise from small start-ups through multi-national, high-financed projects. I think you will enjoy reading her thoughts and remember what it was like to first discover the wonders of science. READ MORE -- Joanne Ivancic

Internship and Volunteer Fair Season. March 21, Find Us at Hood College.
 As an all-volunteer organization, Advanced Biofuels USA provides an opportunity for students, retirees, those "between jobs" and professionals who want to volunteer for an organization that furthers their personal and professional goals. We welcome cold calls about helping us out. And we also take advantage of local internship/volunteer fairs. Most recently, we joined about 20 organizations at the Bethesda Green incubator.
These events also provide an opportunity to talk about biofuels and their role in transitioning to sustainable renewable transportation fuels. And to talk about the resources available from Advanced Biofuels USA.
Come see us at Hood College to find out more.
