“Now that ICOs will not rely on funding paylines when developing their pay plans, it should be clearer for applicants to know the award decision was not made only based on overall impact score, without necessarily considering the additional valuable information provided by peer review.” 🤔 huh?

A family of vampires when they are in a family unit. A fang or vein or drip or suck or seduction or venipuncture of vampires when it is just a group of vampires. Votes?

Why does stress drive psychopathology & transdiagnostic disease?

We present the Allostatic Triage Model of Psychopathology (ATP Model), which explains stress-induced transdiagnostic disease pathogenesis through a bioenergetic lens.

In my experience, scientists would rather use each others toothbrushes than nomenclature.

Does it model prop 13? Racism? Nimbyism?

Out: vaccines
Hot: virus and bacterial micro dosing

Found this guy on my front porch. His beady eye freaks me out.

No it can’t!

New CDC guidelines announce absence of evidence is now evidence of absence.

New CDC guidelines say correlation is causation.

Any evidence these nams are any more reliable? Seems like a wishful proposition. And what about things like potential organ damage or cancer or just intoxication from a drug. Are those outcomes not reproducible? Behavior is finicky but haven’t animal models been critical for mod
medicine?

Yes.

This is all terrible and disturbing. But I do wonder who you are as it seems you are anonymous?

I said this on cnn recently. urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

The retreat owed much of its clarity and depth to Dr. Gisele Fernandes, our Director of Psychedelic Facilitation, who held the space with care and intention.

Grateful for the whole line—and for the chance to keep moving with it.

TrPR was formally named in 2019, but its roots go back much further. What started as a single trial has grown into a full-spectrum clinical research program.

In 2015, there was one study. Now there are many—spanning depression, pain, neurodegeneration, eating disorders, and active-duty military—using psilocybin, psilocin, MDMA, and ketamine to explore new paths in treatment and understanding.

TrPR recently came together for a half-day retreat. We began with a living timeline: everyone arranged themselves by order of joining, from newest to oldest. I jogged along the line, camera in hand, past the smiling faces on the sunlit terrace of the Pritzker Building—and ended where it all began

Just spoke with CNN about Casey Means, psilocybin, and the future of psychedelic therapy. These compounds hold real promise—but we need science, structure, and safeguards.

Human eye on top, squirrel monkey eye below. Little of the peri-iridal tissues are exposed in the squirrel monkey, which is now understood to derive from simply scaling constraints and human adaptations to horizontal scanning. There is no evidence for social cognition being tied to such differences in eye appearances.

Due to the whites of the eye, humans have a uniquely communicative gaze. Other primates have dark eyes, hiding their gaze from conspecifics. We cooperate, they compete. Common knowledge – right? Yes, but it’s incorrect, as we argue in our new paper 🧵🧪1/11

Last year, @jacobsaday.bsky.social and @trpr-ucsf.bsky.social asked: "Psychedelic assisted psychotherapy: where is the psychotherapy research?"

How soon can we say "here it comes"?

So glad to see this work coming from the @trpr-ucsf.bsky.social lab. This paper highlights the lack of diversity and demographic reporting in clinical trials.
