Dr. Dickinson hired Dr. Shao as Vice President of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs at CRN, and that six-year experience shaped a career advising governments globally on science-based regulatory and policy reform, addressing topics from health claims and risk analysis to botanical regulations.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cDr. Shao has spent his career pushing the boundaries of what is possible in evidence-based wellness, bringing scientific rigor, curiosity, and a spirit of collaboration to everything he does,\u201d said Pelin Thorogood, co-founder and executive chair of Radicle Science. \u201cHe understands that rigorous science isn&#8217;t a barrier to innovation\u2014it&#8217;s what makes meaningful innovation possible.
