I can't help but love it when some people f*ck with authority, especially when they are on the right side of history. Prof. David Nutt is one of those people. David is currently the Edmond J. Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology and director of the Neuropsychopharmacology Unit in the Division of Brain Sciences. He is also the Chair of DrugScience (formally the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs (ISCD)) and President of the European Brain Council. But he's probably best known for up-ending everything we were taught about drugs in high school after he authored a study published in the Lancet that showed, through a multi-criteria analysis, that things like cannabis, psilocybin and LSD weren't nearly as harmful to people as was our then (and still, frankly) vice, alcohol. And we should all be grateful he did because in many ways that was a pivotal moment for the psychedelic renaissance and the start of a healthy reexamination of psychoactive compounds in our society. His recent book, Psychedelics: The Revolutionary Drugs That Could Change Your Life - a Guide From the Expert, was published in June 2023 and is now available for pre-order in Canada and the US.

There are~ 30 million people in Europe alone living with a rare condition, of which 75% have neurological symptoms. While significant progress has been made to address needs of these patients, key challenges remain including the scarcity of the expertise and fragmentation of research efforts that translate into delayed diagnosis, few disease modifying therapies, and difficulty in accessing adequate care. In this episode of Axiom Catalyst, we invited Frédéric Destrebecq, the Executive Director of the European Brain Foundation and European Brain Council to discuss how coordinated efforts between patient organisations, research and clinical networks, drug innovators and policy makers, can tackle these challenges and reduce the high burden posed by rare neurological disorders in Europe and beyond.

A common phrase in the community always is, "nothing about us without us", a strong call to decision-makers to ensure that the people most affected by their decisions are involved from the beginning.Accompanied by Dr Elke De Witte, Head of Project Development at the European Brain Council, Sam explores the importance of patient involvement in policy and advocacy, the challenges and roadblocks faced to do so (and how to overcome them) and innovative approaches for improvement at present and in the future.For more information, visit http://efna.net/ and braininnovationdays.eu

Professor David Nutt, on the science behind hangovers and how new trends in the drinks market could help eradicate them for good. Alcohol is very much on the agenda as we approach the end of the year and look forward to a new one. Typically, in December we drink too much and in January, many of us think about cutting back. In this episode of the Table Talk podcast, Stefan Gates is joined by a very special guest who can offer some real insights into our relationship with alcohol, and specifically hangovers. Professor David Nutt is a former UK Government adviser and is currently employed at Imperial College London. He reveals the cost to the economy of people being hungover, why he thinks hangovers should be considered a form of illness, and how he believes synthetic alternatives to alcohol could eradicate some of its least desirable effects.

Professor Nutt was the UK Government's drug adviser in the late 2000s.  He was removed from the position in 2009 for claiming that alcohol is more dangerous than ecstasy or LSD.  The following year, he published a study that showed that alcohol is more harmful to society than heroin or crack cocaine. Professor Nutt has held a number of significant scientific leadership positions including Presidencies of the European Brain Council, the British Neuroscience Association, the British Association of Psychopharmacology and the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology as well as Chair of the UK Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs.  He has published over 500 original research papers, a similar number of reviews and books chapters, eight government reports on drugs and 35 books, including one for the general public; ‘Drugs Without the Hot Air', which won the Transmission book prize in 2014 for Communication of Ideas.  The second edition of this has just been released as has his autobiography ‘Nutt Uncut'.

Not only that, but we even dove a little into his chairman history of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD), and the politics surrounding what happened when he revealed, "Ecstasy is no more Dangerous than Horseback Riding."

He was the clinical scientific lead on the 2004/5 UK Government Foresight initiative “Brain science, addiction and drugs” that provided a 25-year vision for this area of science and public policy. He broadcasts widely to the general public both on radio and television including BBC science and public affairs programmes on therapeutic as well as illicit drugs, their harms and their classification. This talk focussed on the history of drug controls over the past century and how they may have done more harm than good. Professor Nutt showed multi-criteria decision analyses on the different harms of different drugs and will discuss new approaches to policy.
