Illustration Photo: Truman Fellow Anne Ruffing looks at a flask of cyanobacteria with precipitated fatty acid floating on top. She has engineered two strains of cyanobacteria to produce free fatty acids, a precursor to fuels, as she studies the direct conversion of carbon dioxide into biofuels by photosynthetic organisms.

Illustration Photo: Beth Hoinacki, owner of Goodfoot Farm located about 20 miles northwest of Corvallis, Ore., looks over her chickens and geese that are part of the biodynamic agricultural method she is adopting on her farm. As the young mixed fruit orchard comes into production, Beth hopes to maintain a no-spray management program for insect pests and diseases. Beth is experimenting in this area with establishing habitat for beneficial insects and integrating animals.
