![Ethan Coon uses math and computational science to model the flow of above and belowground water in watersheds.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2019-09/2019-P08054_0.jpg?h=036a71b7&itok=yayKqImm)
As a computational hydrologist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Ethan Coon combines his talent for math with his love of coding to solve big science questions about water quality, water availability for energy production, climate change, and the
A team of scientists led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered the specific gene that controls an important symbiotic relationship between plants and soil fungi, and successfully facilitated the symbiosis in a plant that

![David Weston](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2017-P05990_0.jpg?itok=YIUSYZwf)
David Weston became fascinated with plant genetics and ecology in college, and now with the support provided by the DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program, he will link those fields as he studies plant-microbe symbiosis. The research will focus on sphagnum moss, a dominant plant of n...

Working backwards has moved Josh Michener’s research far forward as he uses evolution and genetics to engineer microbes for better conversion of plants into biofuels and biochemicals. In his work for the BioEnergy Science Center at ORNL, for instance, “we’ve gotten good at engineering microbes th...
