imageSUNY Orange Botany professor Monty Vacura delivered a lecture entitled Our Instinctive Biases Towards Cannabis Produced Through Human Group Selection on March 3, 2022 at 6:30pm in RCSE Gerry Forum 010. The presentation was recorded and has been captioned. It is now available for viewing through June 30 on YouTube via this link.

This lecture was the second in the five-lecture series Cannabis ~ Changing A Weed to A Resource, a collaborative effort of the Biology Department and Cultural Affairs.

The lecture gave information and offered much food for thought, and generated several questions and comments.

Monty Vacura holds a B.S. and M.S. Fort Hays State University in Kansas. He was given the distinguished honor of being the recipient of the 2010 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. His recent work and research have been focused on promoting horticulture education in Orange County.
