What is your favorite plant to grow?

I prefer growing mushrooms; they are so fascinating! But, plant-wise, cacti are up there and cannabis, as most of my research is around it.

What is your preferred activity outside of the lab?

Going for walks in the forest hunting for mushrooms and wildlife. I also enjoy cooking and can make a mean chili. But my real passion is patient advocacy and helping break down stigmas associated with cannabis.

Where in the world would you like to travel to next?

What is your favorite animal/insect?

I love spiders! Amazing little creatures, making webs from their bums and eating their mate after they have finished with them! But I am also currently going somewhat gooey over sausage dogs. We have two cats. They are so moody, but I love them!
