Since writing an undergraduate thesis on psychedelic therapy and attending her first psychedelic conference in 2021, Sarah has dedicated her path as a research scientist to studying psychedelic drug mechanisms and applications. She is currently earning an MSc in Psychoactive Pharmaceutical Investigation at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and aims to integrate this degree with prior experience as a molecular biologist to further preclinical psychedelic research. An avid psychedelic conference goer, Sarah joins IPN as a Conference Coordinator in order to sustain the organization’s presence at key psychedelic gatherings and maximize the benefit of conference attendance for new and existing IPN members alike. Sarah is based in Boulder, CO, where she is in the early stages of a research project comparing underground and state-regulated psilocybin practice in Colorado.
