A weekly podcast hosted by Dr. Anna Schwabe

Meet the Host

Dr. Anna Schwabe is a scientist, educator, and long-time voice in cannabis research. Her work focuses on plant biology, disease, genetics, and how science can be communicated clearly — without hype or oversimplification.

She loves talking about cannabis science—but not writing endless posts or flattening complex topics into comment threads. MyFloraFridays is her space to do what she does best: think out loud, ask better questions, and have real conversations.

Anna brings clarity, context, and humor to topics that are often misunderstood, over-politicized, or oversimplified—bridging the gap between science, industry, and lived experience.

What is MyFloraFridays?

Is a weekly conversation series where Anna sits down with scientists, cultivators, breeders, legacy voices, and educators to talk through the questions that keep coming up in cannabis — and rarely get resolved online.

Topics range from:

Pests and Pathogens
Testing and Diagnostics
Chemistry and Extraction
Genetics and Breeding
Cultivation and Production
Post-Harvest and Quality
Science and Research
Policy and Regulation
