fusion-text-1\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the owner of a cannabis dispensary reached out to chemist Dr. Susan Audino for her lab expertise, she wasn\u2019t very supportive of cannabis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An accreditation auditor for testing and calibration laboratories, her knowledge of cannabis at the time was sparse. But instead of outright declining, she began researching cannabis. It was through her studies of scientific articles on the plant that her opinion changed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Audino decided to pitch the idea of getting into cannabis with a laboratory accreditation body, which verifies appropriate quality measures and standards are met for reliable testing data and safety regulations. They agreed, and together the team developed a cannabis program for accreditation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Audino\u2019s journey with cannabis snowballed from there. Now she is recognized as an industry leader with respect to quality assurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cQuality assurance is near and dear to my heart,\u201d she explains. Her belief is that consumers have a right to know what they are getting in their cannabis products. It has become a driving force behind her scientific work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By integrating this passion with her PhD in chemistry, Dr. Audino has found a unique way to form a brand new industry that has a resounding effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because the cannabis market is expanding so rapidly, scientists are left chasing regulations that are not founded on scientific evidence. Currently there is very little harmonization of testing requirements throughout the country. With no safety net in place, it\u2019s difficult to compare results from one laboratory to another.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:75% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 2.56%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 2.56%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_4 1_4 fusion-flex-column\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div ><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img width=\"625\" height=\"499\" title=\"AOAC International Logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AOAC-International-Logo-e1635358648224.png\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-10577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AOAC-International-Logo-e1635358648224-200x160.png 200w, https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AOAC-International-Logo-e1635358648224-400x319.png 400w, https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AOAC-International-Logo-e1635358648224-600x479.png 600w, https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AOAC-International-Logo-e1635358648224.png 625w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1064px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Dr. Susan Audino<br \/>\n<\/strong>Chemist\/Chemometrician<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/susan-audino-725696b3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">S.A.

When labs have high quality standards, methods, and control, they provide more consistent and reliable testing for consumers. With this information, consumers can make an informed decision about ingesting cannabis products. \u201cWe can begin to see confidence in test results.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nowadays, Dr. Audino\u2019s passion for quality assurance when it comes to cannabis hasn\u2019t waned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She has consulted as an expert for multiple states and federal bodies, presented internationally and nationally at conferences, taught and audited standards, and is a contributing author to the first cannabis textbook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the cannabis industry continues to grow, science will need more chemists like Dr. Audino to remain steps ahead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While gender bias still exists within cannabis, most evident by the increasing decline of women in executive roles, women who are passionate about cannabis can still carve out their own space to make an impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Audino\u2019s advice?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cRemain true to your own goals and beliefs.
