Over a Decade of Experience in Cannabis Lab Operations, Natural Products Research, and Science Education
|
I am curious about a lot of things! This curiosity has taken me on a unique journey.
My journey of curiosity has spanned a diverse array of disciplines, weaving together a distinct professional tapestry. My academic career spans Philosophy, Biology, and Science Education. I have had the opportunity to gain experience as a botanist, laboratory technologist, quality director, and operations director, going on to help build and operate numerous natural products laboratories around the United States. Over the past 12 years or more I have specialized in studying the biology and chemistry of Cannabis sativa, L. In that time I have had the chance to learn from leading researchers, clinicians and industry experts from around the world, going on to write a comprehensive Cannabis science textbook, Curious About Cannabis: A Scientific Introduction to a Controversial Plant. This blend of passions spanning science, art, philosophy, and education fueled my desire to create Natural Learning Enterprises, a science and philosophy educational media venture aimed at fostering critical thinking and curiosity about the natural world. It’s a platform where I've had the joy of launching projects like the Curious About Cannabis learning platform, the Isn't Life Curious? podcast, and the children's mycological education initiative Toadstool's Treasures. As a laboratory operations specialist and science communicator, I’m passionate about applying the lessons I have learned along my journey to help your venture succeed (and hopefully avoid the potholes and obstacles that other companies have encountered before). Let’s start a conversation and see where this adventure can take us! |
