Psychedelics, symbiotic relationships, turning on, tuning in, and Creating

Welcome, everyone, to another insightful episode of TrueLife! Today, we have the pleasure of hosting a truly fascinating researcher whose work is at the forefront of psychedelic science. Please join me in welcoming Abigail Calder!

Abigail joined her current research group in January 2021, diving deep into the world of neuroscience after earning her master’s degree from the University of Bonn. Her work centers around the psychedelic substance LSD, particularly how it influences cortical neuroplasticity in healthy participants. But Abigail's research doesn't stop there; she's also deeply involved in understanding the adverse effects of psychedelics, exploring their causes, and examining how these substances impact our values and overall well-being.

Not only is she pushing the boundaries of science, but Abigail has also taken on the role of research coordinator at the ALPS Foundation, where she continues to contribute to the growing field of psychedelic research. We're so excited to delve into her findings, discuss the potential implications for mental health, and explore the future of psychedelics in medicine and beyond.

Abigail, thank you for being here with us today. Let's embark on this enlightening journey together!
