A conscience of the psychedelic medicine community, Jules Evans, raises important questions for us all in his The New York Times op-ed below. He reminds us that despite current enthusiasm for psychedelics that "These drugs should follow the same careful approval process as any other treatment." Evans runs the nonprofit Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project and authors the closely-read Substack, Ecstatic Integration. https://lnkd.in/eMsT5HVT

What would readers of the medical journal, The Lancet Group, learn about Psyence Biomedical Ltd 's Scientific Advisory Board? That one of our founding board members, Dr. Dan Stein "Professor and Chair of psychiatry at the University of Cape Town (UCT) is a psychiatric polymath. After training in psychiatry he completed a fellowship in psychopharmacology, as well as doctorates in both clinical neuroscience and philosophy. There is a parable attributed to the ancient Greek poet Archilochus, the subject of an essay, The Hedgehog and the Fox, by philosopher Isaiah Berlin. Borrowing from the precept: “The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing”, Stein reflects: “I think about and try to problem solve a range of different things. . . " Stein identifies as a fox. Stein was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, into a family of several doctors, “Then there was my father [...] he was very skeptical about medicine and a strong advocate of healthy eating and exercising.” Stein attended medical school at UCT, which afforded him a deferment of military service. There he took extra humanities courses, majored in biochemistry and psychology for an intercalated degree, and left for the USA shortly after graduation. He did his psychiatry training at Columbia University in New York, with additional training in schema therapy, bringing cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas together. Stein did his fellowship at Columbia University in the Anxiety Disorders Clinic, working with his mentor Eric Hollander (Albert Einstein College of Medicine, NY, USA), on the obsessive compulsive spectrum disorders, but shifted to post-traumatic stress disorder, in response to what was happening in South Africa at that time. When compulsory military service ended with the new democratic government, Stein and his South African wife returned home. Under Stein's leadership, UCT has become one of the leading departments of psychiatry in the low-income and middle-income world. His own collaborations reflect his wide ranging interests, extending across the continent and globe, addressing a range of basic, clinical, and public mental health issues. He points to the Drakenstein Child Health Study initiated by his wife, Heather Zar as an exemplary integration of clinical neuroscience and global mental health. Stein has been consistently dedicated to strengthening African mental health policy, clinical services. In 2008, Stein published his doctorate in philosophy as a volume, Philosophy of Psychopharmacology. . " The full article is may be found in this issue of the Lancet. https://lnkd.in/esr7gG3v

If a psychedelic biopharma investment can be described as a health care investment, as it was by Benzinga when it reported an update on Psyence Biomedical Ltd then maybe one day mental health issues will be described as health issues. #Progress https://lnkd.in/egFBzM3a

From Ibogaine to Ethics, Psyence Biomedical Ltd welcomes this Global Wellness Institute trends update reported by our Washington, D.C.-based Chief of Global Impact, Mary-Elizabeth Gifford.
The nonprofit Global Wellness Institute has published its Top 5 Trends in Psychedelics, an annual report from the Psyence Biomedical Ltd Chief of Global Impact, Mary-Elizabeth Gifford, who chairs the Institute’s Psychedelics & Healing Initiative, which counts Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Rick Doblin as its Honorary Chair. TREND 1: Washington, D.C., the new Psychedelic Capital TREND 2: Make Ibogaine Great Again TREND 3: Ethics & Safety TREND 4: Psychedelics for Active Duty Military and Veteran Health TREND 5: Big is Back: Big Pharma & Big Vision (For full text 5 trends, please see link below) Spotting the 5 top trends in psychedelic medicine needs “no crystal ball,” according to Mary-Elizabeth, who instead credits “the insight generously shared over the last year by psychedelic medicine thought leaders, business leaders, journalists, and advocates." In addition to Mary-Elizabeth's leadership as chair of the Psychedelics & Healing Initiative and on the founding launch team of Psyence Biomedical Ltd, --the first biopharma with a focus on non-synthetic psilocybin to list on Nasdaq-- Mary-Elizabeth is co-author of the Nature vs. Synthetic Psilocybin chapter of the Springer Nature textbook on therapeutic mushrooms.

She is a contributing writer for Lucid News, Inc. A collaborative voice for Psyence Biomedical Ltd on Capitol Hill and elsewhere, she has been named a "Psychedelic Titan" by Microdose Psychedelic Insights; Spirituality & Health Magazine describes Mary-Elizabeth as "the most quietly influential woman working in psychedelics today." https://lnkd.in/e3xAF6tM
