Psychedelic Brain Science

This episode of Your Brain on Science, Alaina breaks down the sensationalist hype in the psychedelic science field. She talks about what these drugs are, how to understand the potential caveats to their therapeutic effects and safe practices when getting into psychedelics (take a shot or eat a m&m for every time she says caveat). Alaina will also discuss the Panacea in the room... why does it seem like psychedelics work for everything?! Check out the website for a reading list regarding today's content and some questions to consider. As always, thanks for listening and please subscribe and share!

Have you ever read an article and been extremely confused by all the jargon? Have you ever questioned how the media was portraying findings from scientific articles? Have you ever wondered what exactly is going on? Welcome to Your Brain On Science Episode 2! This week, Alaina and Zarmeen (A to Z get it?) dive into the daunting world of understanding research articles in an attempt to breakdown the tough stuff into skimming, reading and interpreting. Check out our blog on psychedelicbrainscience.com for an example of how we work through research articles.

Hey everyone!! This is the first ever episode of YBOS and we really hope to introduce you all to what this is going to be about. We both really wanted to be able to share our knowledge and expertise in our fields within psychedelic science and help educate the public on some of the topics we've struggled with. We are both PhD students who are passionate about science, communication and giving people a platform and voice to share their knowledge. We hope you follow along with us on this journey and check out our website, psychedelicbrainscience.com and interact with us!
