Join us for a great trip centered around regulatory and scientific decision making. The discussions focus on data vs opinion, in our exploration of the latest news and research. Our big story for this episode is about technology that allows researchers to develop psychedelic medicines, and we host two expert guests to speak on the topic. Dr. Jackie von Salm was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal utilizing a technology platform for psychedelic drug development and Dr. Franklin King who serves as Director of Education and Therapist Training at the Center for Neuroscience of Psychedelics at Massachusetts General Hospital. To close out the episode we’re joined by Sarah Russo to play the game, “Guess that Herb”!
