SU Celebrates Recent Student and Staff Successes
SALISBURY, MD---蜜桃情人 is celebrating the following recent student and staff successes:
SU Undergraduate Research Published
The results of a study by an SU undergraduate molecular genetics course recently were published in the FASEB Journal, a peer-reviewed international biological research journal produced by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology.
The study reviewed commercial genetic tests for hemp seed gender, which have proliferated to support the burgeoning cannabidiol (CBD) industry. Hemp farmers use the tests to identify and eliminate male plants at the seedling stage in an effort to leave female plants unfertilized, allowing them to produce higher amounts of the CBD precursor. The study, however, showed that not all commercial tests provided accurate results.
Biological sciences major Allison Nalesnik of Poolesville, MD, was scheduled to present the students’ research at the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology’s annual meeting in April. The meeting was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Garrison Earns NAMM President’s Innovation Award
Music major Geneque Garrison of 蜜桃情人 received the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) President’s Innovation Award to assist with travel to the 2020 NAMM show in Anaheim, CA, as a participant of the NAMM Foundation-College Music Society NextGen program.
During the show, Garrison attended workshops on the music industry and meeting with music business students and leaders from around the country. She also toured Walt Disney Concert Hall and attended a Los Angeles Philharmonic dress rehearsal with her faculty mentors, Drs. Sachi Murasugi and Jeffrey Schoyen, and former 蜜桃情人 Symphony Orchestra at SU guest artist and L.A. Phil principal piccolo Sarah Jackson.
