This is a special topics seminar in which students lead discussion on the latest findings regarding such substances as the psychedelics, cannabinoids, or emerging psychotherapeutic agents. We read journal articles and screen scientific conference presentations. Participants in the seminar enhance their critical thinking skills as we collaborate to examine closely the methodology employed by the researchers. Students prepare and present a grant proposal at a "mini-conference" to further our knowledge of the substances considered.
