Education Series Q&A Discussion
with Guest Dr. Heather Lee Grab & Dr. Daniela Vergara
Guest Speakers Background
Dr. Heather Grab delivers best practices for the cultivation and processing of hemp to professionals in Cornell’s Hemp Science program. Her research uses remote-sensing, large-scale community datasets, and advanced analytical methods to create data-driven solutions for challenges at the interface of natural resource conservation and agriculture. Heather teaches two courses in the Hemp Science curriculum. The first focused on production introduces students to evidence-based practices for hemp cultivation across a range of production systems from broad acre fiber to indoor high cannabinoid. Her second course gives students hands-on experience with processing raw hemp products into a diverse array of high-value products. She also mentors master’s students in the Hemp Science Program on their independent projects ranging from fiber industry market analyses to new analytical methods.
Dr. Daniela Vergara is an evolutionary biologist, data analyst, educator, scientific writer, and public speaker. In addition to her multiple publications, she founded and directs a non-profit organization, the Agricultural Genomics Foundation (AGF; AgriculturalGenomics.org). AGF aims to make hemp and cannabinoid science available to a broad public. Vergara has been part of e scientific teams at private companies including Steep Hill, Inc. who are a global leader in agricultural testing, and the biotech company Front Range Biosciences. Dr. Vergara recently joined the Harvest New York Extension Team from Cornell University as an ‘Emerging Crop Specialist’ to help hemp farmers with their crop. Dr. Vergara’s scientific publications include the comparison of the cannabinoids by the federally produced Cannabis to that produced by the private market. These results were featured in news platforms such as The Atlantic, Science, and FiveThirtyEight.
