The U.S. White House named a fastener researcher to a list of the America's most promising researchers. Samuel Zelinka, a researcher with the U.S.D.A.'s Forest Products Laboratory, is among 94 recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers. Zelinka is a research materials engineer at the Forest Products Lab. He studies the corrosion of metals in wood and the way wood reacts to water, developing quicker ways to evaluate metal fasteners coexist with new preservatives used to treat wood.

The Early Careers Awards program was established in 1996 to encourage the development of scientists and engineers. The directors of federal agencies select finalists, which are passed on to the White House.
