An invite-only conference on "Academic freedom" with a speaker list curated from the finest anti-climate, covid-minimizing, "cancel culture warriors" headed by Peter Thiel. Always nice to know "being cancelled" involves so many perks and platforms and inner circles.

Oz Azam left Tmunity months after its cell therapy program came to a halt. He then posted that he was returning to his roots in neuroscience, heading a stealth startup. Earlier today, that startup launched with a series A. Its focus? Psychedelics.

We still have a few surprises to announce. At every session, we'll encourage questions from the live audience. I've left out the breakouts, coffee breaks, and meals that will provide extra time for networking. I'd really love to see you there. 16/17
