1/ @michaelpollan's highly-expected @netflix series #HowToChangeYourMind just premiered! šŸ“ŗšŸ„ Despite near-universal praise, #HTCYM is rife with errors & borders on historical revisionism šŸ¤„

A critique šŸ¤”šŸ§µ #LSD #MDMA #Peyote #Mescaline #Psilocybin #Mushrooms #Psychedelic @MAPS
2/ Before I get started, I'll give everyone a little bit of background information. @michaelpollan released a non-fiction work entitled "How to Change Your Mind" in May of 2018. Before the end of that year, his book about #psychedelic drugs became a @nytimes bestseller. Image
3/ @michaelpollan achieved massive coverage for this self-described "mental travelogue" of his #psychedelic experiences. Soon enough, Mr. Pollan became a prominent figure w/in the so-called "Psychedelic Renaissance". In the process, he gained a rather interesting reputation. Image

IMO, there is a place for hands on treatment to help a person suffering persistent pain.

Touch is soothing.

Touch can relieve.

There are different techniques we can show people to use upon themselves or to include loved ones who donā€™t know what to do.

1. You can start somewhere that is not sensitive, or at least less sensitive, using mild pressure.

Observe how the person responds - twitches, change in breathing, utterances etc., to get the right level.

Notice the calming, soothing effects.

#touch
2. We can use mild pressure touch on ourselves to soothe and create calm.

This would then be a better state for movement.

In other words, we prime ourselves to move better.

"These so-called founders will then passively spread the #vaccine to other animals they encounter either by #touch, #sex, #nursing, or #breathing the same air."

"For at least 20 years, scientists have been experimenting with such self-spreading #vaccines, work that continues to this day, and which has gained the attention of the US #military."
2020: "We are now poised to begin developing self-disseminating vaccines targeting a wide range of human pathogens, [] decisions remain about how they can be most effectively designed & used to target pathogens w/ a #highrisk of spillover &/or emergence."

It's Good Friday.

As a sacrifice to Science, I'm going to criticise every single paper I've ever written, one tweet at a time.

Stay tuned..!

#ImAVeryNaughtyBoy
Paper #1: Holmes & Spence 2004 @xmodal

Criticism: A non-systematic review of selected papers, no assessment of study quality, bias, or effect sizes. The only novel thing in this paper was a long, harsh critique of Iriki et al. (1996)

Paper #2: Skaliora et al. 2004

Criticism: I contributed only one figure (#8) to this paper, but >30 neonatal rats paid the ultimate price for my crappy patch-clamping skills (only 17 cells) as an MSc student. I still feel the guilt.

1/ Q: Iā€™m traveling this summer. Any tips for safely staying at a hotel or vacation rental?

A: Yes! 3 key things to remember: 1. Ask about infection control protocols before booking; 2. Beware high-touch surfaces + public spaces; 3. Try to book a room that wasn't used recently
2/ And, or course, #WashYourHands and #WearAMask

As for where you travel, in the words of infectious disease physician Dr. Thomas Russo, the key risk variables involve ā€œwhat you decide to doā€¦how many people you come in contact with and what part of the world youā€™re in.ā€
3/ Additional tips/resources specific to #hotel and #vacation rentals:

Hotels
šŸ›— Minimize time in public spaces (e.g. elevators, stairwells)
šŸ¦  Avoid high-touch surfaces if possible; feel free to wipe down ā€œhot spotsā€ upon room arrival (check out this guide from @HiltonHotels Image

In 2016, I was the first Researcher in Residence at @10DowningStreet. Yesterday, my first book, ā€˜No.10: The Geography of Power at Downing Streetā€™, was published by @HausPublishing. So hereā€™s a thread outlining the early history of No.10, and how it came to be. (1/14)
No.10 Downing Street was built by diplomat, spy and ā€˜perfidious rogueā€™ Sir George Downing in the 1680s. Downing's life was nuts ā€“ worth reading his Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Georgā€¦ (2/14)
Downing was a serial turncoat, close to Cromwell, switching sides following the Restoration, & betraying several former friends to their deaths. But he also made some important tax innovations. Mixed bag, then... Ģ„\_(惄)_/ Ģ„ (3/14)
