"As the President of Heidolph North America, I am pleased to support the growth of cannabis chemistry and research. Through the sharing of information and developments, these scientists are helping to shape the industry. There are some talented scientists doing good work and it is exciting to be able to help bring them to the forefront within the ACS community," said Jim Dawson, President of Heidolph North America and sponsor of the ElSohly Award.

When asked about this year's award Michael Coffin, Chair of the ElSohly Award commented, "It's been amazing to see this award grow and the research really take off over the last several years. With more and more academic institutions willing to participate in research into cannabis from many angles, the chemistry that is being elucidated gets more and more fascinating. It's a true pleasure to view such advances and even more exciting to recognize and celebrate these advances in our collective knowledge."
