Placing DOI and DOC in Schedule 1 of the CSA will be disastrous for neuroscience research and therapeutic development. Students for Sensible Drug Policy work to prevent the Schedule 1 placement follows the science, unlike the DEA

Ok wait, I want to highlight that this is the ADVISORY COMMITTEE vote, not the official FDA-approval vote that is set to take place in August. Further, media is already saying the FDA “rejects” MDMA-AT for PTSD, without any nuance. I educate you all to correct these reports.

Hey that's us! Thanks to all the fantastic scientists who have so far agreed to provide testimony regarding the research utility of DOI and DOC, and how placement in Schedule 1 of the CSA will be disastrous for neuroscience research of all kinds

Trump: “Get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years it will be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore...In four years you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good your not gonna have to vote.”

This was an incredibly exciting project to be part of! Finally, after ~40 years, the activation mechanism and dual agonist requirement for NMDARs is revealed Furukawa Lab CSHL

What do y'all think are the most interesting or important scientific technologies developed in the last 5 years? I'm trying to begin my #thesis discussion by putting into context what exciting things in science have happened since I began my #PhD #phdchat , dont say AI

Thanks for having me Mohammed Abdullah

You’ve heard of “ski meetings”, academic science? New plan: Mountain bike meetings!

Though my BRAD Fellowship came to an end this month, I had the opportunity to interview ACNP Member Dr. Michael Taffe Michael A. Taffe about animal research advocacy as a part of my Researcher Spotlight Series. Read his insightful responses here: bradglobal.org/acnp-brad-rese…

I am so stoked to share that my first first-author paper is out! We explored the interesting and mysterious claustrum, using qPCR, RNAscope, and electrophysiology to probe the role of serotonin and psychedelics in claustrum signaling to the anterior cingulate cortex🧵⬇️
