L&N STEM Academy senior Tyler Duckworth has been named recipient of the 2021 UT-Battelle Scholarship to attend the University of Tennessee.
The competitive scholarship is awarded annually to a graduating senior planning to study science, mathematics or engineering at UT and who has a parent employed by UT-Battelle, managing contractor of the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The scholarship is renewable for up to four years and is worth a total of $20,000.
Duckworth is the son of Robert and Jamie Duckworth of Knoxville. Robert works in ORNL s Fusion Energy Division.
Duckworth’s high school achievements include serving as team captain of the L&N STEMpunks Robotics Team and participating on the team since 2016. He has also taught fellow students about computer science and how to program robots using Java and Python.
(Oak Ridge National Laboratory) Esther Parish is one of eight scientists from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory talking to students in nine schools across East Tennessee as part of National Environmental Education Week, or EE Week.
On April 13, she spoke to Cathy Kimball’s fifth grade class at Lenoir City Middle School. The discussion covered renewable energy resources, science career paths and how climate change may affect East Tennessee.
“I think it is important to reach out to young people about environmental science because the choices that our society makes regarding renewable energy resource development and climate change mitigation will have long-term effects on their environment, health and future quality of life,” said Parish of ORNL’s Environmental Sciences Division who specializes in geography and landscape ecology.

Eighty-eight years after the Tennessee Valley Authority was created to harness the power of the Tennessee River, America s biggest public utility is turning to the sun, splitting atoms and natural gas plants to power its future.
The power shift outlined in a new strategic guide endorsed Thursday by TVA directors will phase out coal-fired power generation by 2035 to help limit the emission of greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. TVA plans next week to give the required notice to begin the process of shutting down the two-unit Cumberland Fossil plant in Cumberland City, Tennessee TVA s biggest coal plant and by July TVA should give notice of its plans to close the nine-unit Kingston fossil plant in Kingston, Tennessee.
