We'd like to give a shoutout to @AnnaMarina123 for setting up the first Drug Science Student Society at @QMULBartsTheLon

Prof Jo Neill is leading the session all about Medical #Psychedelics and how our Medical Psychedelics Working Group is supporting the development of these new therapies!
@AnnaMarina123 will then explain how she got involved with Drug #Science and launched @DrugScienceSoc!
