Shelby Ellison, assistant professor in the Department of Plant and Agroecosystem Sciences at UW-Madison, shows hemp being grown for research in the Walnut Street Greenhouse on campus. Hemp production for nonintoxicating fibers or grains, which is a lot of what Ellison’s lab works with, is exempt in the new law.
UW-Madison professor Jimena Laporta Sanchis’ office has a theme: cows. Pictures of them hang on the her office wall and numerous figurines graze on her desk.
