Our Process

This describes the process that we take when we check the psychedelic (scientific) news.

Monday/Wednesday/Friday:

• Check news that came in via email
• Add news stories to the monthly news blog
  • Link and a short description
  • Organized by theme or category (e.g. corporate corner, or specific drug)
  • Possibly also make a link back to the paper that a news story is about
• If a new company/person of interest is mentioned, add to the company/people database

Monday:

• Check Twitter for news
• Check the above news sources (blogs)
• Check the monthly/quarterly blogs if first Monday of the month/quarter

Wednesday:

• Add episodes from podcasts to relevant companies/news updates

Tuesday:

• Check for new scientific papers on Google Scholar and PubMed
• Add links and abstract to monthly research blog
  • Possibly also make a link back to the news that was (already) written about the paper
• Add (most) significant papers to the paper database
