This past week, three critical scientists from various backgrounds were invited to give their expertise and perspective on psychedelic research. These presentations have been compiled and uploaded to our podcast!
In addition to sharing these talks, we also wanted to share Alaina's slides & some information on the wonderful research going on by Dr. Devenot and Dr. Bedi.
