About Me
Hello! My name is Shauna Beisker. I have been a
student at UWL for two years now and transferred there from
UW-Madison. I am majoring in Microbiology and hope to do
research someday. I did this website as a project for my
Biology 203 class. We were assigned to choose a species
that somehow related to Christmas or holidays around that time
of the year I chose Cannabis sativa because I was running
out of options to choose and thought it would be interesting.
The way in which I found it to relate to a holiday around
Christmas, the Winter Solstice is from a tradition in Romania.
Apparently, they make a traditional confection called a turta,
which is made of pastry dough, melted sugar, honey, ground
walnuts, and hemp seeds
.
Well that is the story about why I chose Cannabis as my organism
and I hope you enjoy my webpage!
