Curious about cannabis science? This OLLI class at Grow Sciences offers an academically grounded, hands-on exploration of how cannabis goes from seed to shelf. The session begins with a seminar covering the wide range of products currently available, including their manufacturing processes, therapeutic applications, consumption methods, and bioavailability. You'll then join a guided tour of the complete cultivation and production lifecycle, from propagation and vegetative growth through harvesting, post-processing, and quality assurance. Designed to be interactive and inquiry-driven, this one-of-a-kind class offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the innovation, precision, and care that define the modern cannabis industry. *Note - the exact address for Grow Sciences is not published for safety reasons.

For millennia, Nero has been the model of the bad Roman emperor, accused of cruelty, excess, and chilling indifference as Rome burned around him. He supposedly persecuted Christians, murdered family members, and drove rivals to suicide. But is that the real Nero? Contemporary sources were deeply biased against him, and recent scholarship has begun to tell a very different story. This course examines the traditional portrait of Nero alongside efforts to rehabilitate his legacy, asking whether he was truly a monstrous ruler, or a more complex, and perhaps more human, figure navigating an impossible role.
