No @theguardian.com. Wildfires takes hundreds of millions of lives.

But if only humans count, you can understand why no more serious measures are taken about it...

Psychedelics are serotonergic drugs...

Right?!?

Well, think again and embrace the complexity revealed by @zenbrainest.bsky.social et al testing 41 compounds in 318 receptors: "psychedelics have potent and efficacious actions at nearly every serotonin, dopamine, and adrenergic receptor."

While it seems all divisive, separation, prejudice, polarization...

In tiny Portugal 🇵🇹 a small bunch of people are doing an incredible logistic operation to receive 40k people in 48h, from 169 countires 🌍🌎🌏, to live a week of transformative experience of oneness, kindness and love 🤍 #boomfestival

Please join me next Wed at Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin 🇩🇪 for an in depth discussion about evidence and mechanisms in psychedelic therapies.

I'll finish with a brief spoiler about a new project coming on, in my new role at ULisbon 🇵🇹 💫

I had a nightmare last night that the current arms race was cooking us all. Fortunately nothing's really happening, is it?

After publishing a consensus statement, a full special issue and 2 more papers about #psychedelics, all written from the Global North, the American Journal of Bioethics desk rejected a paper from the global south... twice!!!

Developing evidence-based psychedelic treatments demands more than current RCT-based drug approval norms 🧪🧠📈

In this invited review I elucidate why and point a new path forward: #EvidentialPluralism with utmost care to avoid the #ExtrapolationFallacy

😱 DYK? 1kg #MDMA (illicit) production generates 20-60kg of toxic waste ☣️

Excellent #EUDA #EUROPOL MDMA market analysis presented today 🧪

Market seems stable, despite apprehensions, average dose almost doubled in the last decade (75-125mg), Europe main producer.

Tonight I'll talk about epistemological tensions in psychedelic research, from rituals to RCTs @monashuniversity.bsky.social for the Postgraduate Psychedelic Education Program led by @pliknaitzky.bsky.social 🧪

Here's a song for the occasion😉

Cardiology studies face a potent source of bias: heartbeats 🙃

Geez will we ever get out of this philosophical conundrum?!?

I hope so, wait for one my next big review 🤓 hopefully coming out soon
