Alice Huang was an executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center company and Nvidia customer.

The offer covers facilities, equipment and associated personnel, including people in the scientific community.

The State Department’s Rewards for Justice program, established in 1984, pays for information intended to protect US lives and interests.

Researchers say evidence from a 2,800-year-old tomb suggests cannabis was used for its intoxicating effects.

The tomb, in southern Siberia’s Republic of Tyva, held high-ranking members of the Scythian society, a culture of nomadic horse riders.

Archaeologists found more than 1,000 cannabis seeds and used radiocarbon dating to place some in the early eighth century B.C. They also found cannabinol traces in preserved human hair, along with weaker signals consistent with THC, cannabis’s main intoxicating compound.

The findings are not conclusive: an independent expert said the hair evidence could reflect contact with cannabis in the grave rather than consumption, and the researchers cannot tell how it was taken.
