You need to have a thick skin as a greenhouse manager in a breeding program. Our Erica Miller skillfully propagated and maintained greenhouses full of plants for 5 months only to have me throw 80% of these beautiful (but genetically inferior) plants into the compost.

Here is my group in front of our five posters in the cannabis workshop @PAGmeeting #PAG31 Awesome team!

Second talk from my lab in the cannabis workshop @PAGmeeting by @geo_stack who is talking about CBG genetics in hemp #PAG31

My group is making 10 presentations at @PAGmeeting this year #PAG31. Ph.D. student Luis Monserrate is talking about genetics of seed size and agronomic traits in hemp in the big room for the Cannabis workshop.

We harvested a 2 acre scaleup plot of our new dual purpose hemp cultivar Ursa ‘Grande’ today. We probably should have found a larger lower sieve, because the seeds are about double the size of other hemp cultivars.

We are hiring! Come be my colleague and join a fantastic department!
