2016 The Zeller Summer Scholarship in Medicinal Botany

Brionna James is a senior at Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies and a minor in Urban and Regional Planning. She will work with a nonprofit organization called Natural Doctors International (NDI) and conduct a field research study to investigate the naturopathic approach to medicine. Her research will require a combination of survey techniques, such as face-to-face interviews, questionnaires, and field research to observe and study the social behavior of local residents to determine whether naturopathic medicine can lead to a more sustainable and competent healthcare system in the rural communities of Ometepe, Nicaragua.
