My book's coming out as a paperback in November - manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526152237/. It's mostly been reviewed as a book about the Troubles, which it sort of is, but if anyone would like to review it as an oral history, which it definitely is, please let me know!

i reviewed "Expanding Mindscapes", @erikadyckhist and Chris Elcock's global history of psychedelics, for @AddictionJrnl: "an essential edited collection ... this important volume should find a place on many drug researchers’ bookshelves."

Someone who's never tasted Irn Bru asked me today what it tastes like. All I could think of to say is that Irn Bru somehow tastes like what a recurring nightmare feels like; a taste of such protean awfulness that it brings with it a kind of terror you may never escape it #horror

Leah Moyle
With great sadness I am informing the academic community that my friend and colleague Leah Moyle (@Leah_Moyle) recently passed away after a short illness. Leah was a wonderful academic with a bright future and a huge heart. She will be missed enormously by many

“The first mentions of MDMA in the underground press characterized it as a ‘new love drug.’... In 1978, Timothy Leary found that it generated empathy but pronounced confidently that it would not be a ‘party stimulant’ or ‘recreational hit.’” —@MikeJayNet go.nybooks.com/4brWUgr
