“Psilocybin, in contrast to any other drug we’ve tested, has this massive effect on the whole brain that was pretty unexpected,” said Dr. Nico Dosenbach, a professor of neurology at Washington University and a senior author of the study. “It was quite shocking when we saw the effect size.”

Université de Lorraine is about to sign the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information and moves its curating efforts towards the open bibliographic database OpenAlex. It will thus no longer provide data for rankings based on closed research information. This is in line with its commitments to the international coalition CoARA.

'The exhibition focuses on a dark period from Greece’s recent past, when democracy briefly floundered. In common with its southern European neighbours, Spain and Portugal, Greece found itself, in the seven years between 1967 and 1974, ruled by a military regime.'

'When I was starting my group, I was reading advice on Twitter. A lot wasn't very useful, but somebody asked, ‘What is the single most important advice to a new PI?’ Somebody answered that it was to ‘grow slowly’, and I couldn't agree more.

Many German economists view these as proof of Germany’s international competitiveness and insist that everybody else, especially in the Eurozone, should follow its example. This is nonsense.'
