Last year’s “5x5” Power List was so well received, we decided to do it again! Join us as we celebrate the movers and shakers – or should that be grinders and growers – who deserve a moment in the spotlight.
We received many, many nominations, and we would love to be able to include you all! But only five spots were up for grabs in each category, making life very difficult for our esteemed judging panel. Take a look at the list to find out the top five influencers across five key areas:
- R&D Trailblazers: exploring the medical benefits and risks of cannabis and cannabinoids
- Analytical Heroes: keeping consumers safe with better cannabis testing and analysis
- Processing Pros: helping the industry evolve through improved processing and extraction
- Plant Science Pioneers: deepening our understanding of the cannabis plant and developing better cultivation methods
- Inspirational Mentors: supervisors, colleagues or teachers who support and inspire cannabis scientists at all levels
By the time I finished my degree in Microbiology I had come to one conclusion – I did not want to work in a lab. Instead, I decided to move to the south of Spain to teach English. After two brilliant years, I realized that I missed science, and what I really enjoyed was communicating scientific ideas – whether that be to four-year-olds or mature professionals. On returning to England I landed a role in science writing and found it combined my passions perfectly. Now at Texere, I get to hone these skills every day by writing about the latest research in an exciting, creative way.
