“The FDA really took the word ‘hearing’ literally.” 🗣️🍄

In a milestone event for the future of mental health, the FDA recently hosted a public hearing on the therapeutic use of psychedel*cs drugs. But instead of top-down mandates, the event was driven by the public!

@psychedelicamericas’ latest guest column by Dr. Alaina Jaster (produced in partnership with @psychedbrainsci) explores the biggest takeaways from the hearing.

Over 80 selected speakers stepped up to address the open questions surrounding:

✅ Provider training & credentialing
✅ Protecting patient safety
✅ Ensuring equitable access
✅ Data collection

As psychedel*cs move closer to mainstream medicine, who is making the rules? Tap the link in our bio to read the full breakdown! 🔗 taken in Silver Spring, Maryland by @psychedbrainsci

It’s almost time!!! Season 6 of Psychedelic Brain Science is almost here. We’ve got an exciting line up, with a little bit of a different spin on things.

As always Dr. Jaster will be talkin science, but this time we’ve invited scientists, advocates, and communicators to share their perspective on how psychedelics are shifting our understanding of the world.

This season you can expect a blend of lived experiences, scientific discussion, and philosophy.

Lineup announcements coming soon….

It’s time to start thinking about Season 6 of Psychedelic Brain Science!

That means we’re going to be looking for our next lineup of guests! Were interested in the following topics:

🧠 Whole brain imaging or EEG signatures of different drugs
📢 Diving into the science of sensory hallucinations
🔬Plasticity beyond dendritic spines - perineuronal nets, functional plasticity, non canonical signaling
⚖️ Advocacy related to psychedelics / other drugs
🙇🏻‍♀️ Disorders OTHER than depression, anxiety, addiction - anyone researching OCD, Bipolar, Brain injury, MCI, etc.
⭐️ Lived experience, harm reduction, etc.

If you’re studying any of these or anything related, please comment or email yourbrain.science@gmail.com with info about your work! We’re also open to other submissions that don’t fit in these topics.

Really excited to be talking all things science communication next week at the Medical University of South Carolina “Beyond the Lab” event! Seeing friends, meeting with colleagues and giving people new tools to work on their policy conversations are three of my favorite things!

My key note is 2-3pm in BSB 329 with poster session to follow!
