Micro Nerd Tess Eidem
Tess Eidem is the owner of Rogue Micro LLC in Colorado, where she is combining her deep understanding of microbiology with cannabis. She is - as we say here in Boston -Wicked Smaaart. Tess shares with Joyce her journey into cannabis, and how she is now using her unique “micro nerd” skillset to improve the safety of our cannabis and lift up women venturing into cannabis business. Tess also explains why it’s so important to have scientists trained to understand cannabis and what she’s doing to add value to emerging cannabis industry.
TCMS Culture Corner: The Abortion Talks, by filmmakers Sarah Perkins and Josh Saber. This documentary focuses on the secret talks between leaders from opposing sides of the abortion debate in the aftermath of John Salvi’s 1994 murder spree at two Brookline, Massachusetts clinics. These women leaders met in secret for over six years to find a way to have civil discourse and change the trajectory of the violence spreading across Massachusetts. This film is not yet available in theaters or on-line, but is available for private viewings.
