For roughly a decade, the dominant consensus in neuroscience has held that psychedelic drugs push the human brain into a state of heightened chaos. According to this standard model, the neatly segregated brain networks responsible for processing sensory input, directing attention, and maintaining a stable sense of self begin to break down. Boundaries blur, cross-talk […]

The pursuit of a Ph.D. is widely recognized as one of the most intellectually demanding endeavors a person can undertake. It is a journey defined by the rigors of original research, the persistent pressure of financial uncertainty, and a pervasive sense of isolation that can, at times, feel suffocating. Yet, for many graduate students navigating […]
Kaveri Sheth, a postdoctoral researcher in linguistics at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, has spent years observing this phenomenon. Having recently completed her own Ph.D., Sheth has occupied the unique space between student and early-career researcher, a transition that often involves mentoring the next wave of undergraduates and graduate students. As a scholar who […]
