Human Entities 2024: culture in the age of artificial intelligenceEighth edition, 22 May 2024 Pluralizing psychedelic experiencesGiorgio GristinaPhD candidate, DANT (ICS-ULisboa), Systems Neuroscience Lab (Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown) Potential groundbreaking therapeutic applications are fuelling a resurgence of scientific and clinical interest towards psychedelic compounds. Growing media coverage is popularizing concepts such as “mystical experience” and “ego-dissolution”. Such terms are used in most scientific studies to describe the complex subjective experiences elicited by these substances, possibly playing a role in their therapeutic outcomes. But what's the history behind these categories? And are there other ways of interpreting the peculiar effects of these substances? The mystical framework has been dominant in western scientific approaches to altered states of consciousness, and was thus adopted by psychedelic research since its inception. However, I argue that it is not the only possible interpretation of psychedelics' effects. Ethnographic data and anecdotal evidence show that other communities have approached psychedelics through other epistemologies, and that their effects vary considerably across different settings. To widen our understanding of these substances' effects and their therapeutic applications, scientific approaches to psychedelics should attempt to include a broader diversity of experiences, contexts and methods. Giorgio GristinaGiorgio Gristina holds a BA in Intercultural Communication and a MA in Social and Cultural Anthropology, both from the University of Torino (Italy). He also got a diploma in Sound Engineering from the school APM (Italy), having collaborated to numerous artistic / audiovisual projects along the years. He is currently PhD candidate in Medical Anthropology at the Institute of Social Sciences (ULisboa), with a research project co-hosted by the System Neuroscience Laboratory (Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown). His PhD investigation employs qualitative methods to unravel the historical and cultural frameworks underlying contemporary scientific research and clinical practice with psychedelic drugs, with focus on the Portuguese scenario and its role in the context of the “psychedelic renaissance”. His work explores the socialities emerging around the use and circulation of drugs, and the way scientific discourses shape western conceptions of self, mind and mental health. He has conducted fieldwork in Israel and in different sites in Europe. https://doutoramento.antropologia.ulisboa.pt/estudantes/giorgio-gristina Credits Organised by CADA in partnership with Lisbon Architecture Triennale and Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon Programmed by Jared Hawkey/Sofia Oliveira with guest programmers: Andrea Pavoni, Justin Jaeckle, Lavínia Pereira and Olivia Bina.

Hello to you listening in Torino, Italy!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday.I spend 2 hours every Thursday afternoon with my wonderfully supportive, encouraging, questioning, criticizing, hot seating, creative MasterMind Group. Before we get together we exchange our 4Rs from the prior week detailing our Results, Reaches, Resistances and Resources.Ah, Resistance! Tricky is thy name. It's the step you don't want to take because you're afraid, bored, uncertain, anxious, tired, or just plain disgusted with it all. As the poet David Whyte reminds us, we must start close in taking the first step - the one we don't want to take. Click here to listen to Whyte recite his own poem, Start Close In.If you're like me you've probably learned that the sooner you face up to your resistance and move toward your task or project the more confident you are likely to feel and perhaps begin asking yourself, “What took me so long?”Story Prompt: What was powerful, striking, exciting, maybe even liberating about the notion of taking that first step, the one close in? Now, where will you go? Write that story! Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something. All that matters is you have a story.60 Seconds is your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that. This is the place to thrive together. Come for the stories - stay for the magic. Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, follow, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, including Android, and join us next time!

At 18 our guest today left her home in Mont-Tremblant Quebec and moved to Whistler, BC, to pursue her dream of becoming a professional snowboarder.

She was on Team Canada for over a decade and competed in many World Championships, X Games around the globe. Her father had Meuniere's disease affecting his inner-ear. He saw many doctors & specialists and the only thing that would give him relief was the acupuncture and herbal formulas from a wise, old, Chinese doctor.

STUDENT, EURECOM Traditionally, network operators have provided some kind of public read-only access to their current view of the BGP routing table, by the means of a "looking glass”. In this talk we inspect looking glass instances from a security point of view, showing many shortcomings and flaws which could let a malicious entity take control of critical devices connected to them. In particular, we will highlight how easy it is for a low-skilled attacker to gain access to core routers within multiple ISP infrastructures.

Do all multiple myeloma patients need continuous maintenance therapy? Join us as we talk with Dr. Antonio Palumbo, MD on HealthTree Podcast for Multiple Myeloma about the recent data to suggest that this may be the case.
Do all multiple myeloma patients need continuous maintenance therapy? Join us as we talk with Dr. Antonio Palumbo, MD on mPatient Myeloma Radio about the recent data to suggest that this may be the case.
Treating special population in multiple myeloma (MM) is a significant problem. This group increasing includes the elderly as the population ages. It is therefore important to understand how best to tailor treatment for these patients. Professor Palumbo has been involved in a number of key studies in elderly patients with MM. High risk patients are currently managed in the same way as standard risk patients, with a view to providing the best chance of progression free survival and overall survival in this patient population. In newly diagnosed elderly patients the benefits of carfilzomib have been investigated. In addition, lenalidomide has been tested in these patients. Relapsed or refractory patients can be a particular challenge in the clinical setting. Pomalidomide is a new therapy that is currently been investigated in this difficult to treat population.
Prof Georgio Scagliotti talks to ecancer at the 2012 ESMO meeting in Vienna about a phase III study that looked at treating small cell lung cancer patients with MET inhibitors in the second and third line setting. In the trial, patients received erlotinib and tivantinib against MET vs erlotinib alone. The phase III study included molecular analysis, of cMET and collected tissue samples from all patients for further study. Prof Scagliotti also discsses the links between KRAS and MET.
