How Gen Z Is Rewriting the Rules of Sobriety
For Slate In 1960 Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous and author of its famous 12 Steps, did something that would be unthinkable in today’s attention economy: He declined an invitation to be on the cover of Time magazine. The editors offered a compromise: What if Wilson were pictured with his back to the camera, making him unidentifiable? Again, he refused. Such publicity was…
An NYT Story Blamed Leftists for Obstructing Psychedelic Therapy. The Truth Is Much More Infuriating.
for Slate On Feb. 4—the same day that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination for secretary of Health and Human Services advanced out of the Senate finance committee—the New York Times published a story with the headline “How a Leftist Activist Group Helped Torpedo a Psychedelic Therapy.” The story claims that Psymposia, a psychedelic-science and harm-reduction nonprofit consisting of five members…
The Intellectual Godparents of RFK Jr's MAHA movement
We’ve got people who were spot on, folks who were well-meaning but misguided, and, of course, the downright dangerous. Because of how the piece is laid out, I can’t give you my usual snippet, but here is a link. Catch me in Part 2, but the whole package is great and well worth reading.
The FDA Might Reject MDMA Therapy—but Not for the Reasons You Think
for Slate What was supposed to be a groundbreaking step in mental health treatment became a devastating rebuke of a biopharmaceutical company at the forefront of researching MDMA-assisted therapy as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Although many psychedelic-therapy advocates were disappointed by the decision, the move could actually prevent serious harm to those seeking…

Psychedelic Hype Is Hurting More People Than We Realize
The Daily Beast Just 48 hours before off-duty pilot Joseph Emerson attempted to cut the engines of a plane on its way to San Francisco from Everett, Washington, he had eaten magic mushrooms, according to a complaint filed by prosecutors.

The Hunt for One of the Weirdest COVID Variants Is in… Ohio?
June 10th, 2023 In April, Marc Johnson, a molecular virologist from the University of Missouri School of Medicine, noticed something startling in the wastewater around Columbus, Ohio: High levels of a previously unknown, significantly mutated lineage of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Not only was the lineage very different from any of the commonly circulating variants, it was a…

Fertility Doctors Used Their own Sperm to Get Patients Pregnant. The Children Want Justice
For VICE News In 2019, Traci Portugal took a home DNA test, looking for answers about her medical history after some recent, unexplained medical issues. While nothing of note had come up on her mother’s side, her father’s side was largely a mystery. He died when she was 16 years old, and his family was either deceased or estranged. But when Portugal, 45, got the results of her test, she was…

Masks Alone Don’t Make You Invincible
Covering your face can help combat the coronavirus. But some scientists fear people now believe masks of any quality are foolproof defenses—and they're being labeled as "anti-mask" for saying so.
For Vice
Michael Osterholm wears a cloth mask when he goes outside. He supports their use and believes they may help slow the spread of tide of the coronavirus. But his organization, the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, or CIDRAP, has dealt with a deluge of hate mail recently from people who believe it doesn’t believe in them enough. Some have even…

Why the ‘6 Feet Apart’ Recommendation May Not Be Enough for COVID-19
Six feet might not be enough to protect you. Here’s why.
When you hear the phrase “social distancing,” is the first thing you think “six feet apart?”
If so, that’s completely understandable. We’ve heard about the importance of staying 6 feet away from people to prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
It makes sense, since close contact with an individual who has a virus is very often how viruses spread.
And…

How are people with OCD handling the COVID-19 Pandemic?
for Healthline
It’s impossible to watch the news, listen to the radio, or be online without encountering various public service announcements about the importance of “hand hygiene” (regular handwashing for at least 20 seconds).
These are well-intentioned and important reminders, but for some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) — particularly those who have “contamination OCD” — it can…

Will the COVID-19 Pandemic Lead to Increased Rates of PTSD and Trauma?
for Healthline
By now, it’s become extremely clear that the best way to contain the COVID-19 pandemic is for all of us to practice physical distancing and stay home.
While cases of COVID-19 are still in all 50 states, states with early shelter-in-place orders have been able to “flatten the curve” more effectively than those that haven’t.
But being stuck at home while a deadly pandemic rages…
