One thing I'll say, and this is just a rarely do I plug anything related to the podcast, but,

We are actually providing some support to Robin and others laboratory for the study of things like DMT.

One of the things that we do at the podcast, and this is not a request for anything, we do take a significant portion of the proceeds from our premium channel, and we fund human studies of exciting things like DMT.

We're supporting Robin's lab this coming year.

I've pooled together some other donors to provide support for all human studies, no animal studies.

And

The goal is really to fill in important blanks like the study of DMT as well as other things.

We're currently funding the eating disorders laboratory at Columbia University.

Eating disorders, by the way, anorexia nervosa in particular, the most deadly of all psychiatric disorders.

Really tragic challenge there.

So I just mentioned that.

Getting funding for science on really kind of

next level stuff is hard for reasons that would take up the whole night so that's one thing that i'm really trying to do in the next few years and again this is not a request but to you know pool together donors and get them to give money to laboratories to do the kind of stuff that's going to feed back to the general public very quickly because i think we're all getting a little tired of the like okay mouse study which are great you know but in 10 years this might lead to a

Blank for Alzheimer's or blank for autism.

I think we're all getting a little tired of that narrative, so we're trying to accelerate the process.

Okay.

Yeah, thank you.

And it's not a sole effort.

It's just I do happen to know a lot about the way that funding mechanisms can get a little bit clogged, and so just trying to clear some of those clogs.

The brain and gut axis, is this a thing?
