In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes back Jonathan Lu & Shauheen Etminan, founders of VCENNA and the supplement line Ancestral Magi. Find episode links, summary, and transcript here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-222-jonathan-lu-shauheen-etminan-phd Following up from their first episode, the duo unpack the neurobiology of oneirogens (dream-inducing substances). Delve into the dreamlike realms of consciousness as Jonathan and Shauheen explore the unique effects of beta-Carbolines and Syrian Rue, comparing them to classic psychedelics like psilocybin, LSD, Ayahuasca, and Iboga. Uncover the secrets of lucid dreaming and the ancient traditions that inspired them.

Their team applies modern neurophysiological and computational tools to understand scientifically what our ancestors discovered millennia ago, and from which they developed the nootropic formulations for Magi Ancestral Supplements. Jonathan is a proud father of three daughters and has visited 66 countries. He is a graduate of Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, and received a B.S. in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering from Cornell University. Shauheen Etminan, Ph.D. Shauheen Etminan, Ph.D. is an intuitive activator and repeat founder with a passion for creating impactful products and platforms that embody wellness, abundance, authenticity, reciprocity, and inclusion. He has a track record of working in multiple industries including psychedelics for mental wellness and cognitive growth, which are aligned with his life story as a founder and mission as an autotelic entrepreneur. Shauheen holds a MSc and PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Calgary. He is a secular mystic who practices Sufi Dervish whirling meditation.   Highlights: Rumi, Sufism, and the traditions of Sufi Whirling. Exploring the unique dreamlike effects of beta-Carbolines and Syrian Rue. Ayahuasca vs. Haoma (speculated to include Syrian Rue). Iboga as an oneirogen. Research into the impacts of beta-Carbolines on memory. Considering the preparation and integration for oneirogens like beta-Carbolines. Lucid dreaming, archetypes, and the sacredness of dreamtime in indigenous traditions. The neurobiology and subjective effects of beta-Carbolines vs. classic psychedelics.

Historically, circuit assemblies are rigid devices. IoT (Internet of Things) has opened up the opportunity to embed electronics into a near limitless array of form factors. Some of these form factors require the electronic assembly to be flexible such as in wearable and medical applications.To complicate matters, The metal conductors on the assembly are rigid, and not flexible or malleable. That may change with the adoption of liquid metals. We were all exposed to the concept of liquid metal in the 1991 film Terminator 2. Will science fiction become reality?My guest today is Dr. Michael Dickey. Michael is currently the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Professor in the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at NC State University. Michael Dickey received a BS in Chemical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology and a PhD from the University of Texas. From 2006-2008 he was a post-doctoral fellow in the lab of Professor George Whitesides at Harvard University. Michael completed a sabbatical at Microsoft in 2016. Michael's research interests include soft matter (liquid metals, gels and polymers) for soft and stretchable devices (electronics, energy harvesters, textiles, and soft robotics), and hopefully, for the sake of humanity, not liquid metal T1000 villains.Dr. Michael Dickey's Contact Information:mddickey@ncsu.eduLink to Michael Dickey's TED-X Talk:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfUnK_rME8E
