## Resource

Today we speak to David Erritzoe (Clin Associate Professor in Psychopharmacology & Psychiatry) . A leading researcher in the science of psychedelics, addiction, and mental health, David joins us to unpack what’s actually happening in the brain when patterns break, beliefs loosen, and change becomes possible. Together, we explore the tension between biology and meaning, evidence and experience — and what modern neuroscience can (and can’t) tell us about transformation. This conversation sits right at the heart of the journey: a moment to question assumptions, re-examine what we think we know about the mind, and consider how altered states — whether clinical, chemical, or contemplative — might reshape the stories we tell about ourselves. David is a highly cited scientist (top 0.1% globally in 2025, Clarivate), and in 2025 received Imperial’s President Award for Excellence in Research, and his team has received several additional awards in recent years. David and his team have been awarded competitive grant & fellowship funding, hereunder from MRC/UKRI, NIHR and Welcome Trust. David has published 150+ scientic papers, contributed to 7 books (incl author of 6 book chapters), an per Dec 2025 has a Scopus h-index of 54 and 19k+ citations.   Hosted on Acast.
