The Science of Magic Mushrooms

Magic Mushrooms are leading the current psychedelic renaissance as they may unlock key questions to understand the mind, treat depression and increase wellbeing. Join Dr. Chris Timmermann, from the Centre for Psychedelic Research, as we explore the avenues of the psychedelic revolution in mental health and the pharmacology of psilocybin.
