Hopefully we will provoke thoughtful discussions around modern human experiments.īy looking at key experiments and trials done by the military we can learn about psychoactive chemicals and protocols that work, and don’t work, on humans. By looking at it through the lens of military experiments with a focus on psychoactive drugs we hope to add a small amount of research to the open source science body of work and to highlight the need for sound, ethically sourced data. Human experimentation has a long (and dark) history and today is fraught with ethical dilemmas and tensions.

Our goal as speakers here is more modest, we are bringing forward research as a starting point for ourselves and our audience. Whether they channel their passionate interests into a start-up business or stay in the nonprofit sector, they will continue to make important contributions in their fields. Citizen scientists are people driven to investigate, experiment and seek answers.

Small groups and individuals who chose to pursue lines of inquiry and conduct ethical, methodical experiments are the key to the next series of breakthroughs that we will see across many sectors. The talk will focus on biohacking as not just an ethically grey zone but instead present the idea that biohacking is not just something we would like to see, but is something we must do if we are ever going to be capable of living up to the morals we espouse.Ĭollaborators Amanda Plimpton and Evan Anderson are active in the body augmenting community and excited to see the current growth in the citizen science.
