After 6 years, 116 pages, and 29,379 words- I was officially made Sadie Witkowski, PhD! I thought the appropriate way to celebrate such a momentous occasion was to flip the show on its head so that I can share a bit about the work I've conducted throughout grad school.

We all have that friend who is convinced CBD is a true panacea, but has no scientific evidence to back it up. Well, let me introduce you to a memory researcher who has moved into clinical research focusing on CBD, psilocybin, and other trippy drugs. Manoj Doss walks us through some of his research and what we do (or don't) know about different substances.

Turns out knowing a person for a few years doesn't necessarily mean you know what they do. I knew Sarah was in the department of statistics, but I had no idea how far-reaching her work is! If you're interested in education research, experimental design, and giving back to your community- Sarah Peko-Spicer is your girl!
