Dr. Duncan received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Princeton University in the area of inorganic synthesis. Along with his background in chemistry, Jeremiah has long had a passion for travel and a desire to help the disadvantaged citizens of the world that he has often seen first-hand. Seeking a way to combine these after grad school, he became a Peace Corps Volunteer in the central Pacific island nation of Kiribati, where he taught math and science at the Kiribati Teachers' College on the capital island of Tarawa. Although he now lives a "normal" life back in the U.S., Jeremiah has been delighted to be a part of For Granted nearly since its inception.
