The Vantage Point
Glenda Humiston
Vice President
UC Agriculture and Natural Resources
In particular, one of the legacies President Napolitano leaves to UC ANR is her creation of the Presidential Match for Endowed Chairs that has helped UC partner with donors to establish endowed chairs to fund research; it also helps us attract and retain top academics. The Presidential Match has made it possible for UC ANR to fill five endowed positions in
UC Cooperative Extension
, ensuring the scientists have a dedicated source of funding for their ongoing agricultural research.
We’re pleased that professor, UC Cooperative Extension specialist and director of the UC Citrus Clonal Protection Program
Dr. Georgios Vidalakis
has been
named
as the Presidential Researcher for Sustainable Citrus Clonal Protection. Congratulations Georgios!
“The
UC Citrus Clonal Protection Program
was the first of its kind anywhere in the world. It was a huge honor to be named its director then, and it’s an even greater honor to be named Presidential Researcher for its sustainability now,” Vidalakis says.
We look forward to seeing you and collaborating with you! Also, please share

V
oter approval of Proposition 64, the 2016 ballot measure that altered California law to allow the recreational use of cannabis by adults,
presented policymakers with the challenge of regulating, licensing and taxing a large, complex and fast-changing recreational cannabis industry. The challenge was made more acute because scientific research on many aspects of cannabis in California had never been conducted at scale.
UC is now working to fill that research gap. At least nine UC research centers, most of them new, now focus entirely or in part on cannabis.
In this
special issue
,
California Agriculture
presents research articles on cannabis production, the economics of California's cannabis industry, and the social and community impacts of cannabis.
