Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!

In this episode of Psychedelic Conversations, we speak with Rotem Petranker, PhD, executive research adviser at Rose Hill, to explore the realities of psilocybin microdosing research. We discuss his Phase 2 clinical trial investigating microdosing psilocybin for major depressive disorder, including study design, safety outcomes, and early findings that challenge some popular assumptions about dose and frequency. Beyond the data, we dive into deeper themes around expectancy, set and setting, and why connection itself may be one of the most powerful healing factors. We also reflect on the limitations of overly medicalized research, the importance of pre-registered science, and how collaboration between scientists, communities, and lived experience can move the field forward with integrity.

About Rotem:Rotem graduated with a BsC in psychology from the University of Toronto and an MA in social psychology from York University. His master’s thesis modeled the contribution of affective regulation to the relationship between mindfulness and sustained attention. Rotem earned his PhD from McMaster University, working with Dr. David Shore. His dissertation focused on a double-blind, placebo-controlled psilocybin study.
