Our Cannabis Sciences student, Henry, was selected to be the first one to operate the tissue culture kit donated by Athena.
This autoclave is very convenient for moving into the classroom. The hood will be up and running soon!

Rodrigo Raposo, a master’s degree student, presented updates on his thesis progress to the committee.
Great job! #thisissiu
📕 This semester, the HORT-482 Cannabis Practicum featured a friendly competition: the student who cultivated the plant with the highest cannabinoid concentration would win a copy of Yield Science.
#thisissiu
🪴 Here are the HORT 482 - Cannabis Practicum students showing off the semester's most precious outcome: the representative bud of each cannabis cultivar to be used in the cannabinoid analysis.
#thisissiu
Our master’s student, Rodrigo, is presenting the potential outcomes of his research titled “Quantifying the Effects of Varying Levels of Pruning on Floral Biomass and Cannabinoid Content of Cannabis sativa L.”
#thisissiu
✂️🪴 Rodrigo, one of our Master’s students, welcomed the HORT 482 – Cannabis Practicum class to our CEA research lab, where he presented his experiment examining how different pruning levels influence cannabis growth and secondary metabolite concentrations.
#thisissiu
⏰ Harvest time is here!
♾️ Today, the HORT 482 - Cannabis Practicum students discussed their growing strategies, mistakes, and areas for improvement.

Thanks a lot, NuEra, for providing our students with excellent learning opportunities and for creating an achievable career path. The students are very excited about the Summer Internship Program next year.
LET'S GOOO!

🔁 The HORT 450 - Controlled Environment Agriculture and HORT 410 - Urban Horticulture students visited the Freight Farms unit installed at University City High School in St. Louis.
🪴 🍕 They learned the ins and outs of operating a fully automated container farm and got some free pizza.
#thisissiu
So great to have our former student, Jacob Olcott, visiting the HORT 482 - Cannabis Practicum lecture and sharing his experiences in the cannabis industry.

A month ago, at the Cannabis Cultivation and Science Conference in Bozeman, I had the chance to talk about how abiotic plant stress can modulate secondary metabolite responses and cannabinoid production. It was great to see how the cannabis industry in Montana is still collaborative. #thisissiu
🔟 Very thankful for Yield Science donating 10 books to the Cannabis Biology and Cultivation Systems Lab. These books will be available for the students to borrow and use in their course assignments.

My first Cannabis Research Conference is on the books! So happy to see and meet many of the rockstar scientists working on cannabis in an academic environment.
Excited for next year in San Diego!
