Oil prices plunge following U.S.-Iran ceasefire

Crude oil prices dropped sharply Tuesday evening, falling well under $100 per barrel after President Trump said the U.S. agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran that Pakistan had proposed.Why it matters: It's the biggest one-day free fall in oil prices since the 1991 Gulf War.Driving the news: The global benchmark Brent crude futures price fell about 13% to about $95 a barrel. But it's still far above the roughly $73 mark right before the war began at the end of February.WTI, the U.S. benchmark, was down to about $96 a barrel, a drop of about 14 percent.The big picture: [...]

Iran ceasefire fails to quiet Democrats as over 85 lawmakers demand Trump's removal

President Trump's announcement of a ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday did little to stem the growing tide of calls from congressional Democrats for his impeachment or removal via the 25th Amendment.Why it matters: The Republican support needed for these efforts to succeed is highly unlikely to materialize, but Democrats are desperate to show their voters that they are doing everything they can to get Trump out of office.Reps. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) and Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) each sent letters to Vice President J.D. Vance and the Cabinet asking to remove Trump by invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.Rep. John Larson [...]

U.S. AND IRAN AGREE TO 2-WEEK CEASEFIRE

The U.S. has agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran proposed by Pakistan, President Trump said Tuesday night. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed Tehran's acceptance and said Iran would allow "safe passage" of the Strait of Hormuz during those two weeks "via coordination with Iran's armed forces."The big picture: The Pakistani proposal, which came hours before Trump's deadline to launch massive strikes if no deal was reached, involves a pause on Trump's threat and a commitment from Iran to open the strait.That two-week period is to be used to negotiate a larger agreement to potentially end the war.The U.S. [...]

U.S.-Iran peace talks expected Friday in Pakistan, sources say

A first round of negotiations between the United States and Iran on an agreement to end the war is planned for Friday in Islamabad, according to two sources familiar with the plans.The big picture: Those would be the first in-person negotiations since the war began. President Trump announced Tuesday that the U.S. had agreed to a two-week ceasefire, during which time the sides would negotiate on a full peace deal. Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, later confirmed Tehran's acceptance."There are discussions about in-person talks, but nothing is final until announced by the President or the White House," Press Secretary Karoline [...]

Pope issues stiffest rebuke yet to Trump over war threats

Pope Leo XIV denounced President Trump's threat to wipe out Iran's civilization on Tuesday.The big picture: The first U.S.-born pontiff told reporters in Italian "this threat against the entire people of Iran" is "truly unacceptable," according to a Vatican News translation.Leo has been increasingly outspoken in his moral opposition to many of Trump's policies, in particular on the Iran war and immigration, but his comments on Tuesday marked his most pointed rebuke yet.What they're saying: "There are certainly issues of international law here, but even more, it is a moral question concerning the good of the people as a whole, in [...]

GOP dissenters emerge on Trump's threat against Iranian "civilization"

With a few exceptions, congressional Republicans were silent on Tuesday as the clock ticked down on President Trump's threat to wipe out Iranian civilization unless the Strait of Hormuz was reopened.Why it matters: Republicans in Congress have shown unwavering loyalty to Trump, and the president's threat against Iran appears to be no exception to the long-standing pattern of limited GOP resistance.Driving the news: Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-Texas) said in a post on X that "I do not support the destruction of a "whole civilization." That is not who we are, and it is not consistent with the principles that have [...]

Trump's Iran threats raise moral stakes for military members

Military officers could face a moral dilemma if President Trump follows through on threats to bomb Iran's civilian infrastructure, military law experts tell Axios. The big picture: Established procedures and rules of warfare dictate that civilian infrastructure is protected from an attack, and though the Joint Chiefs' chair says the U.S. military has abided by "normal procedures," Trump's rhetoric dramatically raises those stakes. On Tuesday, the president posted that a "whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again," a harrowing pledge after a series of public warnings to destroy Iran's bridges, power plants and other infrastructure.What they're [...]

Pakistan proposes 2-week Iran ceasefire ahead of Trump deadline

The Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday called on President Trump and the Iranian regime to agree to a two-week ceasefire to give time for peace talks.White House press secretary Karoline Leavit told Axios: "The President has been made been aware of the proposal, and a response will come."Why it matters: Sharif's statement came less than five hours before Trump's deadline to either get a deal or unleash a massive bombing campaign on Iranian infrastructure. Pakistan has been the primary mediator between the U.S. and Iran over the last several weeks. As Axios reported, negotiations between the U.S. [...]

Anthropic withholds Mythos Preview model because its hacking is too powerful

Anthropic is rolling out a preview of its new Mythos model only to a handpicked group of tech and cybersecurity companies over concerns about its ability to find and exploit security flaws, the company said Tuesday.Why it matters: Anthropic is so worried about the damage its own model could cause that it's refusing to release it publicly until there are safeguards to control its most dangerous capabilities. Threat level: Mythos Preview is "extremely autonomous" and has sophisticated reasoning capabilities that give it the skills of an advanced security researcher, Logan Graham, head of Anthropic's frontier red team, told Axios.Mythos Preview [...]

Trump's Iran post causes talk of his impeachment, removal to erupt among Hill Democrats

Calls for President Trump's removal from office reached a fever pitch among congressional Democrats on Tuesday after he threatened that "a whole civilization will die tonight" in a post about Iran.Why it matters: Lawmakers are openly floating impeachment or even removal via the 25th Amendment — a far cry from the strict taboo around such procedures at the start of Trump's second term.With the Democratic grassroots increasingly raging at what they see as corruption and constitutional violations by the Trump administration, their allies on Capitol Hill have warmed to more drastic methods.Trump's strikes on Venezuela and now Iran this year [...]

Iran talks show glimmer of progress as Trump deadline looms

Progress has been made in the past 24 hours in the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, though reaching a ceasefire deal by President Trump's 8pm ET deadline still looks like a long shot, according to a U.S. official, an Israeli official and two other sources with knowledge of the talks. A U.S. official said the thinking in the White House has shifted from "can we get there?" to "can we get there by 8 o'clock tonight?"Why it matters: Failure to reach a deal by the deadline —or at least make enough progress to convince Trump to extend it— would [...]

How the Iran war affects Americans' inflation expectations

Data: Federal Reserve Bank of New York; Chart: Courtenay Brown/AxiosAmerican consumers are bracing for an Iran war inflation jolt, though they don't anticipate the effects will linger.That's the upshot of the New York Federal Reserve Bank's March Survey of Consumer Expectations, the first to capture sentiment since the war began.Why it matters: So far, that is more consistent with a one-time inflation surge than the alternative outcome that might alarm the Fed: signs of unmooring in long-run inflation expectations.By the numbers: Median one-year inflation expectations jumped 0.4 percentage point, to 3.4%, last month, according to the New York Fed. It [...]

Trump threatens "whole civilization will die tonight" amid 11th hour Iran negotiations

President Trump threatened on Tuesday to wipe out the entire Iranian "civilization" if the regime doesn't meet his 8pm ET deadline for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.The big picture: Trump's new threat, which was the most harrowing in a series of public warnings to Iran, seems to be part of an effort to convince Tehran the risks of not making a swift deal are too dire to countenance.Iran has accused Trump of planning to commit war crimes. The regime has not shown much flexibility around a deal in public comments, though sources tell Axios there has been some progress behind [...]

Trump's tipping point: Destroy Iran's infrastructure or give talks a chance

President Trump faces a momentous decision on a tight timeline: carry out his threat to obliterate Iran's infrastructure beginning at 8pm ET, or push his own deadline again to give negotiations a chance.Why it matters: Trump has threatened to destroy every bridge and power plant in Iran by midnight, among other options that would have devastating consequences for ordinary Iranians and spark dangerous retaliation across the region.Mediators from Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey are working to avert that outcome by brokering a deal — or at least putting time back on the clock."If the president sees a deal is coming together, [...]

MAGA's global model faces existential test in Hungary

Vice President Vance on Tuesday will plunge into Europe's most volatile election in years — a Hungarian campaign engulfed by spy scandals, sabotage and unprecedented peril for MAGA's favorite foreign ally.Why it matters: Viktor Orbán is the cornerstone of President Trump's vision for Europe. The pro-Kremlin, anti-EU strongman has spent 16 years building a template for Christian nationalist rule now embraced by the American right.Trump's national security strategy openly calls for "cultivating resistance" in Europe by empowering nationalist forces like Orbán's. His defeat would shatter that model at its source.Zoom in: Vance arrives in Budapest with a clear mission: Boost [...]

Scoop: Platner declares Mills nearly finished in Maine Senate primary

Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is making the case that his primary race against Gov. Janet Mills is all but over, a full two months ahead of their primary election on June 9. Why it matters: The Maine Democratic contest to take on Republican Sen. Susan Collins is one of the messiest primaries in the country, exposing rifts in the party over age, gender and ideology.Platner's team told donors and allies that he is pivoting to focus more on the general election and polls show him leading Mills by double digits, according to a Thursday memo seen first by Axios."Another [...]

House Democrat announces impeachment push against Pete Hegseth over Iran war

A House Democrat announced Monday she will introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over his handling of U.S. operations in Iran.Why it matters: Hegseth is emerging as Democrats' top target in the Trump Cabinet following the ousters of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi. Polls have shown Hegseth is among the least popular members of the Cabinet, with the mounting costs of the Iran conflict placing further strain on his public image.The White House and Pentagon did not immediately respond to requests for comment.Driving the news: Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) said in [...]

Trump official Howard Lutnick to sit for May interview with House panel on Epstein ties

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will sit for a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee on May 6, three sources familiar with the matter told Axios.Why it matters: Lutnick has come under intense public scrutiny after the Justice Department's release of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein shed new light on the ties between the two men.Lutnick has denied wrongdoing in his dealings with Epstein, telling Axios' Mike Allen last month: "I look forward to appearing before the committee. I have done nothing wrong and I want to set the record straight."Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said [...]

David Hogg's PAC leaves some Dem campaigns fuming

Leaders We Deserve, the PAC founded by David Hogg to elect young progressives in Democratic primaries, is leaving some of the campaigns it endorsed griping about alleged broken promises.Why it matters: Multiple campaigns backed by Hogg's PAC fumed after primary losses that the group dangled hopes of financial commitments that never materialized.First it was Irene Shin: The Washington Post reported last July that Leaders We Deserve backed off a commitment to spend $400,000 on the 38-year-old Virginia state delegate's behalf in a U.S. House special election that was won by now-Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-Va.).Now sources close to the campaign of [...]

U.S. launched "air armada" to rescue F-15 crew in Iran

The U.S. military employed hundreds of people and some 176 aircraft over the weekend to rescue the crew of an Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle downed deep inside Iran.The big picture: This "air armada," as Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine described it at the White House on Monday, helped pull off a pair of "incredibly dangerous" extractions, bringing home the pilot and weapon-system officer (WSO).Their callsigns were Dude 44A and Dude 44B.Among the aircraft used were bombers, fighters, refueling tankers, helicopters and unmanned systems. Caine name-dropped the A-10 Warthog, HC-130 Combat King II and HH-60 Jolly Green II. He [...]

Why JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon isn't sweating private credit

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon downplayed the threat of a private credit meltdown, while Goldman Sachs signaled that its private credit business is in good shape.Why it matters: The trend of investors exiting private credit funds has raised concerns that a blowup in nonbank lending could infect the broader financial markets.The big picture: Dimon noted Monday in his annual letter to shareholders that the leveraged private credit market totals $1.8 trillion, while investment-grade bonds total $13 trillion and residential mortgage securities and loans also total $13 trillion."In the great scheme of things, private credit probably does not present a systemic [...]

New video contradicts ICE's original story about North Minneapolis shooting

Newly released video contradicts federal claims that two Venezuelan immigrants assaulted an ICE agent with a snow shovel before an agent shot one of them during Operation Metro Surge.Why it matters: The footage raises questions about why it took federal officials weeks to back off from their original story about — and drop criminal charges against — the wounded Julio Sosa-Celis and his roommate, Alfredo Aljorna.The New York Times, which was first to publish the video, reported that authorities had access to the footage "within hours of the shooting."The big picture: Minneapolis was on edge when the agents shot Sosa-Celis [...]

Artemis II just set a new distance-from-Earth record

Artemis II's four astronauts have officially gone where no one has gone before, setting on Monday a new distance-from-Earth record for human spaceflight.Why it matters: Artemis II broke Apollo 13's 248,655-mile record, set over 55 years ago on that ill-fated ship's emergency flight home.Upon crossing that mark, Artemis II mission commander Reid Wiseman named a lunar crater "Carroll," after his wife who passed away from cancer in 2020.Driving the news: The lunar quartet has further to go yet.They'll reach their maximum distance (252,760 miles) just after 7 p.m. ET tonight.What's next: The crew is starting their seven-hour lunar orbit and [...]

Iran sends "maximalist" peace plan response as Trump deadline looms

Iran sent a 10-point response to the proposals under discussion with the U.S. for ending the war, according to U.S. officials and the Iranian state news agency IRNA. Why it matters: The chances for a ceasefire deal before Trump's deadline of 8pm ET on Tuesday currently appear slim. Trump says without a deal by then, he will order massive strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure. Iran says it would retaliate against energy and water facilities in the Gulf states.A U.S. official who saw the Iranian response called it "maximalist."Trump told reporters Iran's response was "significant" but "not good enough." He said [...]

Oil climbs anew on mixed signals about Iran war's future

Brent crude oil climbed more than 1% to above $110 per barrel when markets opened Sunday — only to decline slightly later — amid mixed signals about the Iran war that's creating unprecedented disruption to global energy flows.Why it matters: President Trump is signaling major escalation, but also told Axios' Barak Ravid that the U.S. is in "deep negotiations" with Iran.Trump is threatening to bomb Iran's power plants and bridges starting Tuesday if the regime doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz.The latest: The global benchmark Brent crude was trading at nearly $111 per barrel as of 10pm Sunday ET. By [...]

Behind the Curtain: Sam's superintelligence New Deal

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is doing something no tech titan has ever done: He's publishing a detailed blueprint for how government should tax, regulate and redistribute the wealth from the very technology he's racing to build and spread.Why it matters: Altman told us in a half-hour interview that AI superintelligence is so close, so mind-bending, so disruptive that America needs a new social contract — on the scale of the Progressive Era in the early 1900s, and the New Deal during the Great Depression.The big picture: The threats of inaction or slow action are grave, Altman warns — widespread job [...]

The massive economic impact of the global energy crisis

Even if the Iran war ended now and the Strait of Hormuz reopened, the crisis has lasted long enough to bring a meaningful and damaging toll worldwide.Why it matters: "What began as a disruption in a key energy corridor is now feeding through the entire global economy," the UN's trade and development arm said in an analysis.Driving the news: Fresh outlooks are landing that take stock of the war's effect.The UN expects global economic growth to slow from 2.9% in 2025 to 2.6% this year, and that's without further escalation.It's not just about energy. Goods needed for fertilizers and much [...]

Iran mediators make last-ditch push for 45-day ceasefire

The U.S., Iran and a group of regional mediators are discussing the terms for a potential 45-day ceasefire that could lead to a permanent end to the war, according to four U.S., Israeli and regional sources with knowledge of the talks.Why it matters: The sources said the chances for reaching a partial deal over the next 48 hours are slim. But this last-ditch effort could be the only chance to prevent a dramatic escalation in the war that will include massive strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure and retaliation against energy and water facilities in the Gulf states. Driving the news: [...]

Dems eyeing 2028 want huge tax cuts — but big hikes for the rich

Some Democrats eyeing runs for the White House have rolled out a provocative new economic policy: massive tax cuts for the working and middle classes — and big hikes for the wealthy.Why it matters: Republicans may lose the midterm elections because of voters' anger over high prices, but Democrats are still struggling to figure out how to address voters' concerns about inflation.Driving the news: The proposals by Democratic presidential hopefuls include eliminating federal income taxes for half of all U.S. workers, making the first $75,000 of income earned by married couples tax-free, and enacting a variety of state-based tax cuts [...]

Dems weighing 2028 campaigns run from 2020 positions

Democrats weighing runs for the White House want to forget many of the positions they took in 2020 — and they're hoping voters will too.Why it matters: Leaders and would-be leaders in the party have shifted their views on border security, DEI, crime, climate change, COVID-era lockdowns and more — all with an eye on this year's midterms and the 2028 presidential election.Many Democrats believe they lost to Donald Trump in 2024 because voters didn't like some of their left-leaning policies, not just how they were communicated. Driving the news: Several potential 2028 Democratic candidates have spent the past year [...]

He also describes how festival harm reduction work, including lessons from Zendo-style support spaces, revealed a major gap: people often need help during an experience and after it ends. [...]

PT 646 - Manvir Singh: Shamanism the Timeless Religion

Manvir Singh joins Psychedelics Today to unpack what shamanism means and why the term matters now. Singh is an anthropologist and author of Shamanism: The Timeless Religion. He argues that shamanism is not limited to "remote" societies or the past. Instead, it reliably reappears because it helps humans manage uncertainty, illness, and the unknown. This episode is relevant for the psychedelic community because "shaman" often gets used loosely, or avoided entirely. Singh offers a clear framework for talking about shamanic practice without leaning on romantic myths, drug-centered assumptions, or rigid definitions that do not fit the cross-cultural record. Early Themes [...]

Kyle shares how his near death experience, somatic training, and breathwork facilitation shaped this new course on breathwork foundations, while Joe reflects on how reading Dr Stanislav Grof and years of experience in Holotropic Breathwork changed how he approaches psychedelics. Early Themes: [...]

Alexander Beiner joins Psychedelics Today to explore how psychedelics, culture, and power shape each other. A writer, facilitator, and co founder of the conference Breaking Convention and the media platform KAINOS, he has spent years thinking about how psychedelic experiences ripple into politics, economics, conflict, and community. In this episode, he and Joe trace the path from early internet forums to today's psychedelic renaissance, and ask what it would mean to bring a truly psychedelic perspective into our institutions. Beiner is less interested in psychedelics as a niche medical tool and more interested in how they can help us see [...]

Learn more - https://psychedeliconcology.com/ In this episode, Joe Moore sits down with Dr. Jason Konner, a longtime oncologist who recently left his full-time clinical role at Memorial Sloan Kettering to devote himself to the emerging intersection of cancer care and psychedelics. Dr Konner shares how, after more than two decades treating people, he hit a wall.

A chance moment in a yoga class, overhearing someone say "ayahuasca retreat" just before he was scheduled [...]

PT 637 - Genesee Herzberg — Ketamine Truths, MDMA Hopes, and the Work of Integration

Clinical psychologist Dr. Genesee Herzberg joins Kyle to reflect on two decades in trauma work and 15 years inside the psychedelic ecosystem—from early MAPS conferences to running Sage Integrative Health. She traces how personal psychedelic experiences set her on a path of service, research at CIIS on MDMA-assisted therapy, and hands-on roles with MAPS: Zendo Project harm reduction, adherence rating, and ultimately serving as an MDMA therapist in clinical trials. Today she leads Sage, an integrative clinic (psychotherapy, psychiatry, bodywork, acupuncture, and functional nutrition) focused on ketamine-assisted therapy while preparing for MDMA's eventual approval. She also co-founded a sliding-scale KAP [...]

PT 636 - Dr. Ros Watts – Building Communities and Connection

Clinical psychologist Dr. Ros Watts joins Psychedelics Today to share insights from her decade of work with psilocybin therapy and her evolving focus on community-based integration. As the former Clinical Lead for Imperial College London's landmark psilocybin-for-depression trial, Dr. Watts witnessed how psychedelic experiences can foster profound feelings of connection— to self, others, and nature — yet also how that connection can fade without ongoing support. In this conversation, she reflects on what years of research have taught her about connectedness as both a healing mechanism and a human need. She explores how integration work can transform fleeting psychedelic breakthroughs [...]

PT 635 - Jennifer Espenscheid — Art as a Practice, Psychedelics as a Teacher

Artist, builder, and podcast host Jennifer Espenscheid joins Joe Moore for a rich conversation on creativity, process, and the spiritual dimensions of making art. Drawing from her South Dakota roots and large-scale works like Luciferia, Jennifer reflects on the blend of grit, intuition, and trust that guides her artistic life. She discusses how psychedelics have served as a tool for clarity and healing rather than direct creation of art, helping her dissolve patterns and reconnect to innate creativity. They explore how events like Burning Man catalyze inspiration, why intention and integration matter as much as vision, and the discipline of [...]

PT 634 - Brad Adams - LAMPS

Brad Adams — LAMPS (Los Angeles Psychedelic Society) joins Kyle to trace his path from PhD researcher to community builder. Brad shares how early work in AIDS, Alzheimer's, gerontology, and cancer research primed him to notice Harbor-UCLA's psilocybin pilot for stage-4 cancer patients with death anxiety—where the strongest mystical experiences correlated with profound death acceptance. Teaming with Dennis McKenna, he ran an ayahuasca pilot in Peru and presented findings at Psychedelic Science 2017. From there, Brad founded LAMPS: first as research meetups at UCLA, then as a thriving hub hosting speakers and, ultimately, an L.A. psychedelic conference. He previews the [...]

PT 633 - Dreamshadow - Life and Breath

In this episode, Kyle and Joe sit down with filmmaker Mustapha Khan and Dreamshadow's Elizabeth & Lenny Gibson to explore Life and Breath—a new documentary immersing viewers in the experience and community of Holotropic Breathwork. We talk about why Mustapha was drawn to Dreamshadow, the film's cinéma vérité approach that places you "in the room," and how years of facilitation informed what became both an archival record and a living portrait of transformation. Elizabeth and Lenny reflect on 35+ years of holding space, the role of curiosity over agenda, and why genuine community—not just catharsis—is central to lasting growth. Kyle [...]

PT 632 - Megan Portnoy MS - Ontological Design, Psychedelic Spaces, and Integrating Rigor

In this episode, Joe Moore talks with Megan Portnoy, a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology at Antioch University New England, about how ontological design can reshape the environments used in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Megan explains how physical space is not just a backdrop but an active participant in the therapeutic process, influencing emotion, cognition, and healing. She recently won an award for her presentation on this topic at PsychedelX. They explore how design principles that foster awe, play, and flexibility can deepen integration and expand what's possible in clinical settings. The conversation also examines how psychedelic communities can balance openness with [...]

PT 631 - Kyle Buller and Joe Moore - Breathwork, Community, Bodywork and more!

Joe and Kyle open with reflections from their first r/psychonaut AMA, then pivot to why they're building Navigators—our off-social community with book/film clubs, early ad-free episodes, mentorship, and an expanding education library. The core discussion explores touch and bodywork in breathwork and psychedelic contexts: why defaulting to "no touch" and moving slowly matters; informed consent; reading nonverbals; and keeping client agency central. They unpack trauma-informed concepts like the window of tolerance, polyvagal‐adjacent ideas (and critiques), and the ethics of avoiding re-traumatization or facilitator-driven interventions ("WAIT: Why am I Talking/Treating/Touching?"). The duo emphasize that bodywork requires specialized training and careful framing—supportive, [...]

PT 630 - TK Wonder and Cipriana Quann

Interviewers: Joe Moore & Anne Philippi Guests: TK Wonder & Cipriana Quann (The Quann Sisters) Recorded: June 18 during MAPS PS 2025 Content note: This episode discusses childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, suicidal ideation, disordered eating, and recovery.

Cipriana recounts launching Urban Bush Babes in 2011 to center women of color in beauty and fashion—work that led to a Vogue "day-in-the-life" feature and collaborations with couture houses. TK shares the parallel [...]

PT 629 - Ivar Goksøyr - MDMA Therapy for Therapists

In this candid, practice-focused conversation, Joe is joined by Norwegian psychologist and researcher Ivar Goksøyr to explore how therapists' own healing journeys can measurably improve client outcomes—and why MDMA-assisted experiences, used thoughtfully, may be a uniquely powerful catalyst for professional development. Ivar shares lessons from Norway's psychedelic research team (PTSD and the world's first MDMA-for-depression trial), his clinic Psykologvirke in Oslo, and his online course, "The Wounded Healer," which uses authentic footage from his FDA-approved MAPS volunteer MDMA sessions to illuminate real clinical processes, countertransference, and the "inner healing intelligence" as a working metaphor rather than dogma. The discussion ranges [...]

PT 628 - Kyle Buller and Joe Moore - Breathwork, Community, Creativity, and Fresh Psychedelic Research

Joe and Kyle debrief a hometown Dreamshadow Transpersonal Breathwork weekend in Breckenridge, then sketch the next chapter for Psychedelics Today: a community-centric model (Navigators) that bundles education, live streams, book and film clubs, and small-group access. They kick around the big "creativity + psychedelics" question, contrast subjective "I feel creative" with objective task performance, and highlight new research—from DMT's potential in stroke recovery to breathwork's measurable effects. They wrap with quick hits on MAPS leadership, state policy moves, and what's coming up at PT this fall. Highlights & takeaways Breathwork > substance? A reminder that profound states are accessible without [...]

PT 627 - Mary Carreon — Censorship, Psychedelic Media & Policy Crosscurrents

Episode summary Joe and Mary dive into how platform censorship and shifting algorithms have reshaped psychedelic media, why DoubleBlind moved to a "newsletter-first" model, and what that's revealed about true audience engagement. They reflect on the post-2024 MDMA decision headwinds, state-level policy moves (wins and losses), and how funding, politics, and culture continue to reconfigure the field. They also explore alternatives to alcohol, chronic pain research, reciprocity around iboga/ibogaine, and lessons from PS25 (MAPS' Psychedelic Science 2025). Highlights & themes From platforms to inboxes: Social and search suppression (IG/FB/Google) throttled harm-reduction journalism; DoubleBlind's pivot to email dramatically improved reach and [...]

Track ID? — From "OneTribe" party in Israel, ~144 BPM full-on. Shazam, SongRec & AHA Music all failed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRHzGc7gEjQ Video is by "Hippie productions" on YouTube — 2:14 of daytime festival footage from a party called OneTribe in Israel. Desert setting, tents, psychedelic art, percussion jam area. One track plays through the entire video. No artist or track name anywhere — not in the title, description, or comments. Ran it through Shazam, SongRec, and AHA Music — none of them recognised it. BPM analysis gives ~144, full-on energy, daytime set. Might be unreleased or from a small Israeli label. Anyone recognise it? submitted by /u/Alarmed-Visit-6594 [link] [comments] [...]

New study reveals why housing booms and busts are built into the system

A new study shows that the ups and downs in house prices are far more dramatic than most people think—and that government policies play a big role in making them happen. The researchers analyzed housing markets in 23 OECD countries from 1990 to 2019. They found that during boom-and-bust periods, house prices changed by almost 6% a year, compared to a long-term trend of just 2.6%. [...]

Researchers clarify how cells remove damaged endoplasmic reticulum

The cell's endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a central role in protein synthesis, folding, and calcium (Ca²⁺) storage.

The hidden workload behind burnout: Why unpaid work may worsen women's mental health

Mental load, invisible work, "the extra shift"; no matter the newly coined term, unpaid work in the domestic sphere, predominantly done by women, is a hidden burden eating away at the sleep and mental health of those tasked with it. This work is essential to keep everyone's daily lives on track, from meal prep and clean clothes to school drop-offs and doctor's appointments, yet its importance is often ignored, undermined, and even belittled by the very society dependent on it. [...]

When trees get 'sunburn': Study shows how young trees can handle the heat

Can our forests adapt to a hotter and drier future climate? Temperatures are predicted to rise up to 5°C compared to pre-industrial times. Forest management needs to adapt to these conditions, which requires a better understanding of how heat and drought affect trees. A new study by a team of the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL and EPFL shows that warming itself is not the biggest issue for trees. The work is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. [...]

Experiment indicates new type of mesic nuclei that could reveal how matter acquires mass

Nearly every object we interact with in our lives has a mass, but where does this mass come from? Modern physics says matter acquires its mass from interaction with a physical vacuum—it is not an empty space, but contains a complex structure. Investigating the system of a meson—a composite particle made of a quark, an elementary particle, and its anti-matter, anti-quark—bound to an atomic nucleus, a mesic nucleus, provides precious insight into the vacuum structure, or mass generation mechanism. Scientists are now one step closer to further understanding the origin of mass thanks to new experimental results on a completely [...]

Who got the meat? What 10,000 years of European bones suggest about diet inequality

Phengite identified as key carrier of halogens into Earth's deep mantle

Surface volatiles—chemical substances that easily become gases or fluids at relatively low temperatures and pressures—are transported into Earth through subduction zones, with some being transported into the deep mantle and others to shallower depths. According to conventional models, halogens such as fluorine (F) and chlorine (Cl) are largely released at shallow depths when hydrous minerals break down, making it difficult for them to reach the deep mantle. However, a new study has identified high-density saline inclusions in deep diamonds and fluorine enrichment in mantle minerals, indicating that some halogens survive transport to great depths. [...]

How stem cell descendants preserve flexibility while maintaining distinct identities

Stem cells are the body's ultimate shape-shifters, sustaining tissues by balancing two competing demands: maintaining their own population and generating specialized descendants. In many tissues, some early descendants can revert to a stem cell state through a process known as dedifferentiation. This ability can help replenish the stem cell pool when stem cells are lost. [...]
