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
