Cannabis, like wine & whisky, has unique aromas👃
A new project from @GenomeBC, @Aurora_MMJ and UBC is sniffing out the best ones. Researchers are using #genomics to understand the genetic factors responsible for specific, desirable aromas.

UBC Biology presents Teaching Assistant Spotlight! Learn more about Biology TA Rain Xiong in our latest article in BioNews (bit.ly/BioNewsTA24Oct)!
ALT Meet Rain Xiong! She is currently a PhD candidate in the Sugioka Lab who has TA’d BIOL112, 200 and 362. Rain’s research uses the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism to study the molecular mechanisms regulating cytokinesis, the last step of cell division.
ALT “Being a TA has taught me how to balance my life between the lab and everything else. As a graduate student, sometimes it can feel like your entire life revolves around the lab and it can be depressing from time to time. Being a TA gives me an opportunity to think and act in a different mindset that is refreshing.” Rain Xiong PhD candidate, Sugioka Lab

The scientific study of glaciers first got its footing in the late 1700s, and many of the basic ideas still hold. But one of glaciers’ most important roles has been overlooked. #GlacialReadsWeekend🧊
