Really hyped about being quoted in this Bustle article alongside a mentor of mine for over a decade, the inimitable @charan-neuro.bsky.social. We discuss the potential for MDMA to distort memories rather than uncover forgotten memories.

Switzerland & the ALPS conference was absolutely incredible. Breathtaking landscapes, delicious (and healthy) food, highly intelligent people (and lots of fun), and more psychedelic research than I realized. High recommend for a vacation and the academics.

OMG. The survey we posted (won't retweet here) has a >50% response rate from bots. What's worse is that they just sent a flood of emails right now asking for their compensation. Has anyone else dealt with this?
Apologies to anyone who actually responded. Will sort this out soon.

Have you had an insight related to your work/hobby after taking a psychedelic (not a personal insight)? We're running a survey backed by the Center for Minds to understand such insights. It takes ~30 mins & pays $15.

I learned 2 things today:
1) 55 yrs before Liechti's study (doi.org/10.1093/ijnp...), LSD trips were cut short at the 4-hr mark w/chlorpromazine, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC....
2) Despite being a 1st gen antipsychotic, chlorpromazine blocks 5-HT2A (hence disrupting LSD's effects).
