Noteworthy quotes from this episode “We're not the redheaded stepchild, we are just scientists, just like anyone else. And I often have said, you know, if it was Tortillas or bread or meat on my side of the industry… It's just the same. If it's a leafy green or a green bud of weed, I feel like we all have here a collective trust in consumer safety and a trust in science.” – Carly Bader We hope you enjoy this episode!Remember to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast on your favorite podcast platform.
