NOTE FROM TED: Research around psychedelics remains an emerging field of study. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give organizers are described in more detail here:
Nick Glynos is pursuing a doctoral thesis at the University of Michigan, focused on the function and regulation of endogenous DMT in the mammalian brain. Currently, he is the president of Student Association for Psychedelic Studies, which works to cultivate a space to discuss the growing body of research on therapeutic uses of psychedelics and related political, ethical, and PODS (privilege, oppression, diversity, and social justice) issues. He is also the co-founder of the Psychedelic Neuroscience & Therapy (PNT), a UM-funded organization with a mission to foster scholarship, interest, and discussion of psychedelic science and therapy. Nick is tremendously passionate about leveraging psychedelics research to unlock the secrets of human consciousness. He holds an Associate of Science from Flathead Valley Community College and a Bachelor of Science in Plant Science from Cornell University.
