Hello BESTers!
I'd like to share with you all, a fascinating article written by two BEST students about their summer experiences at the Bioenergy Summer School, hosted by Dr. Ann Wilkie. They submitted a great article, which captures the exciting field of bioenergy and its applications. From converting Krishna lunch waste into biofuels to growing their own crops for biogas, this article explores the experiences of two of UF's bioenergy innovators.
Read the article here: http://www.snre.ufl.edu/pubsevents/Source/spring08/bioenergy.htm.
While you're there, check out the rest of the SNRE Source for more interesting articles on the exciting research and activities conducted by students, faculty and alumni of the School of Natural Resources and Environment.
Enjoy!
