Part 1 of 2: Sarah Rose-Siskind: Uniting Science, Comedy and Psychedelics
What do AI, Science, Psychedelics, and Stand-up Comedy have in common?
.
More than you might think.
In these next two episodes of The Dov Baron Show, we sit down with the brilliant and boundary-pushing Sarah Rose Siskind, a science comedy writer and founder of Hello SciCom.
.
Sarah’s career is nothing short of extraordinary—from writing for StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson to helping shape the personality of the world’s most famous robot, Sophia.
.
But that’s just the beginning. Sarah is also a psychedelic stand-up comedian and a Zendo-trained trip sitter. In her show, Drug Test, she takes self-experimental journalism to new heights by personally exploring the effects of various substances, all in the name of harm reduction and curiosity. Through it all, she blends humor with deep insights into the therapeutic potential of psychedelics and their impact on mental health.
.
This episode will take you on a journey through the intersection of science, AI, and mental health, challenging you to rethink what’s possible. Sarah’s ability to communicate complex ideas with humor and clarity is nothing short of inspiring. Get ready to laugh, learn, and leave with more questions than answers.
