So great! To paraphrase

: If we (researchers) aren't clear, it has downstream effects on translation (eg to) psychiatry. We must strive not just to publish papers, but to be clear!

Yesterday, my heart was filled with hope as all live Israeli hostages returned home. Yesterday was also the funeral of Roee Shalev, Nova survivor suffering from PTSD who committed suicide this week. The trauma suffered on both sides is tremendous and there is much work ahead for this to be healed.🙏

This is a fascinating article. Well-researched. And while it doesn't interrogate the reasons why the FDA knocked back the MDMA application at least it reasonably accepts the rejection was based on problems with the science and not solely the result of a tiny "activist" group.

The horrendous government here has so little support from the people, that they are moving towards dictatorship. They know they will lose the election so are trying to prevent it. We need to stop the war now! How can anyone not be heartbroken when seeing the outcomes of this conflict.
