Recently interviewed by @MaastrichtU about #psychedelic research, working with participants, and the potential impact of this field on mental health care. We also spoke about what it means to be nominated for the New Scientist award: maastrichtuniversity.nl/news…
Voting is still open until the end of this week—find the link in article! @PIMaastricht
Honored to be nominated for the 2025 New Scientist Award, for my work on the neural and cognitive effects of #psychedelics. It’s wonderful to see this field gaining more and more acknowledgement in science. I'd be super grateful if you could vote for me

How can 2C-B 💊contribute to psychedelic neuroscience, an otherwise "forgotten" psychedelic? We went off with @singletonion ,@NL_Mason , @sattertt and Jan to take an initial look at this using 7T resting state fMRI. 👇

🚨 New Data Alert! 🚨
🔬 We've just released a new preprint comparing the acute effects of psilocybin and ketanserin on cerebral blood flow in humans. First-ever in vivo evidence that psilocybin constricts the internal carotid artery! More details here: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A few years ago I was in a position to do something unique in neuroscience. I had been working with the phenomenal @emilyjacobs on menopause and inspired by @laura_pritschet's menstrual study, and I was planning a pregnancy. What if we scanned my brain??

Great to see our latest work, in collaboration with @BeckleyResearch , online! It shows individualized responses to low doses of LSD as well as (prolonged) neural adaptations that underlie improved attention and arousal, in a fully blinded study. nature.com/articles/s41398-0…

My comment with @amykooz on the recent (and very nice) psilocybin fMRI paper by @SMortaheb & @ADemertzi is now live. TLDR: the global signal debate continues!

Does anyone have any experience asking participants to collect saliva samples at home, and store them for 2 days? Samples need to be maintained at -20 degrees Celsius. I could send the participants with dry ice, but small amounts of dry ice struggle to survive +24 hours..

Hyped for this to be published w/@PMallaroni, @NL_Mason, & Jan Ramaekers! This is the 3rd dataset to show psychedelics idiosyncratically boost familiarity w/two psychedelics, psilocybin & 2C-B, but this time the increases led to something weird...
