At Tweed I worked on the research and development team in the tissue culture lab. At Tweed we work with Cannabis by taking small ex-plants at the nodes of different strains of Cannabis mother plants. Preparing media and other chemical solutions to initiate plant growth was the main tasks. The research that I am involved with is the cryopreservation of Cannabis cultures.

At the Canadian Food Inspection Agency I work in a level 1, histology laboratory. This is the analysis of abnormal tissue samples sent from meat suppliers. These samples are grossed/trimmed to a size that gives a general cross section of the whole sample. The tissue has the water replaced with wax so that the samples can be embedded onto a cassette and thinly sliced. This allows for the tissue to be stained to be able to analyse for bacteria or cancer.
