“When we looked at the data, we said, ‘This is a game changer’,” Schlidt said. “That began a long exploration of meeting people and getting to know the academics. We saw the COVID-19 pandemic as a mental illness wave. That’s panned out and you’re seeing a renewed focus on mental health care.”

Better now then never, last month I've enjoyed this podcast about Xenobots, i was so excited to see this topic on Lex podcast and to know that we will soon hear about Xenobots 4. The reason is that i gave a short talk about this topic a while ago and can now say "hey I knew it before it became trendy"🤪. Ok, jokes aside, this is definitely one of the greatest and insightful conversation about biology and Cells in particular.

Great example of sustainable tech. Hope to see more startups like this instead of yet another fintech/nft bullshit.
"The process took four years of near-constant work, but in the end, the engineers managed to create a plant that can metabolize four major indoor air pollutants, including formaldehyde and toluene. The customized flora can even absorb certain VOCs, like the carcinogen benzene"

I haven't thought I'll post any reviews, but I've realized that I've tried three different Kanna products and can somehow compare them.
1. Kanna extract from liftmode. The cheapest option. 20 doses for 37$. (2$per dose) but half of the amount (25 mg) is enough to feel happier and more empathetic. Not very tasty, and not very comfortable to use, you need to put it under the tongue and wait 10 min. The effect is medium to high. Results are Openness, Empathy, Happiness
2. Kanna chews from KA Emphatigenics. Most expensive 50$ for eight doses, so like 6$ per dose. Each chew has 30mg of high-potency extract. It's delicious gum. The effect I can describe as low to medium but lasts longer. More like Empathy and openness and somehow anti-depressing.
3. 10x Kanna extract from MCMystic bit more expensive than other extract, 15 eur for five doses. (3$per dose or 1$ if you sniff). It's a powder, so you can brew a drink or, better, sniff it. In this case, you will need at least two times less. 50-100 mg. If you sniff, the effect is really high (i mean comparing to other Kanna types, not Mef/etc), and you can physically feel a nice calming sensation and a bit of very light MDMA-like physical relaxation and warmth in addition to default Empathy and openness.
But it's currently quite subjective. I had different sets and settings. Obviously, sniffing substances makes the effect stronger. Also, chews are much tastier than raw extract.
