1971: Rocket engines burning fuel so fast Up into the night sky they blast Through the universe the engines whine Could it be the end of man and time? Back on earth the flame of life burns low Everywhere is misery and woe Pollution kills the air, the land and sea Man prepares to meet his destiny

Today, April 25 🌹, is Peace holiday in Portugal 🇵🇹, for the 52nd anniversary of the historical end of a dictatorship, without bullets, dead bodies and bloody streets. A peaceful transition day, and country. May it continue to be so. May the call for ✌️ peace 🕊️ reverberate worldwide.

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."

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😉 🎶 Very Superstitiooous🎶 open.spotify.com/track/4N0TP4...

Modified lyrics of Superstition song, changes IN CAPS:

Very superstitious BLINDING THEM ALL
Very superstitious, CONTROL 'bout to fall
13-month-old TRIAL, broke the BLINDING LAW
Seven years of bad luck, THE INVALID TRIAL is in your past
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way
Ooh, very superstitious, CONTROL THEIR EXPECTATIONS
Rid me of the CONFOUNDERS, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me going strong
You don't wanna save me, sad is my CONTROL
When you believe in things you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeah, yeah
Very superstitious, nothing more to say
Very superstitious, the Devil's on his way
13-month-old TRIAL, broke the BLINDING LAW
Seven years of bad luck, THE INVALID TRIAL is in your past
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no

⚠️ My new preprint examines the opposite conclusions of the 🇺🇸FDA👎 and 🇳🇱Dutch Commission👍 about #MDMA therapy for PTSD. I suggest that FDA more closely followed the hierarchy of EBM, while the Dutch approached what a pluralistic EBM+ assesment would look like. #psychiatry #neuroskyence #PhilSci
