Dear Carleigh,
It's been a busy field season, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Over the last year, we have expanded our team and increased our capacity to conduct and manage complex GLP studies around the country and the world. We’re proud of all the work we accomplished in 2023 and excited for what's to come in the new year. Read on to learn more about our expanded team and our attendance at the upcoming National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants' (NAICC) 2024 Annual Meeting.

TEAM UPDATE: Introducing Our New Service Line Leader and Staff | |
|
We're excited to congratulate Ben Brayden on his recent promotion to Service Line Leader of Stone’s Agrochemical Fate and Exposure Team. Ben has been a valuable member of the Stone team for more than a decade and has worked on a range of important studies related to off-target drift and volatility, groundwater, surface water, and ecologic risk. John Hanzas continues to serve as President and Senior Geoscientist at Stone, contributing to GLP projects as Test Facility Management and occasional field work. His main focus, however, will be the overall strategic vision and growth of Stone.
In addition, we've welcomed several new scientists to Stone over the past year who provide vital assistance across all aspects of our work.
