About this Event
Neuroscientist Gül Dölen risked her career when she gave octopuses MDMA. Her startling findings opened new avenues to understand how psychedelics impact the brain—restoring flexibility, rewiring habits, and accessing creative states.
Join her and journalist Joe Dolce, author of Modern Psychedelics: The Handbook for Mindful Exploration, at Clio's for a conversation exploring the frontiers of psychedelic research and their applications for transforming human psychology. Copies of Joe's book are available for purchase in advance with your ticket.
Gül Dölen is the Bob Parsons Associate Professor of Neuroscience at UC Berkeley. Her groundbreaking research reveals how psychedelics reopen critical periods in the brain, offering profound insights into learning, connection, and the biological basis of transformation.
Joe Dolce is the author of Modern Psychedelics: The Handbook for Mindful Exploration, a book that has been called "the essential guide we have been waiting for.... the bridge between Michael Pollan’s brilliant journalism and the practical reality of people actually using these substances." When not writing about mind-expanding molecules, he works as a presentation coach and media trainer in New York.
