Enlightenment Evenings: Psychedelics at the ASI (well, not really!!)
Join us for another Enlightenment Evening on Wednesday, 17th July.
We are on the cusp of a major revolution in psychiatric medicine and neuroscience.
We're delighted to be hosting an exciting series of talks on the legal status of psychedelics.
We will be hearing from:
Dr David Erritzøe, Clinical Director and Deputy Head of Centre for Psychedelic Research and Clinical Senior Lecturer in General Psychiatry in Centres for Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial.
David conducts psychopharmacological research, using brain-imaging techniques such as PET and MRI. Since 2009 he has been involved in post-doc imaging research into the neurobiology of addictions and major depression at Imperial. David has been investigating brain mechanisms and therapeutic potential of MDMA, ketamine and classic psychedelics.
Tara Austin, Campaign Manager at Psilocybin Access Rights, has been a psychedelic medicine advocate since 2015, and co-founded PAR in 2022 to improve therapy access. As a Partner at Ogilvy Behavioural Science Practice, she works with top clients and hosts Nudgestock, a leading behavioural science and creativity festival.
Max Rangeley, Editor of the Cobden Centre, a British economics think tank founded by Member of Parliament Steve Baker and entrepreneur Toby Baxendale.
After the talks, there will be short panel discussion and Q+A.
