In conversation with Curator of Cultural Programs, Rachel Donadio, Pollan will explore how these drugs are revolutionizing mental health treatment and reshaping our understanding of consciousness. We’ll also discuss Pollan’s broader body of work, which spans topics from food to nature, offering insight into his unique perspective on the intersection of science, society, and the human experience.
