Definium’s new psychedelics data, and a reprieve for international scientists

On this week's episode of STAT's "The Readout LOUD," the team discusses a recent court decision that gave international researchers a reprieve on foreign visas for students. But many are still considering leaving the United States for opportunities elsewhere, raising questions about what that means for the future of American medical research.

STAT reporter Jonathan Wosen and Fanta Aw, executive director of NAFSA: Association of International Educators, join the podcast to discuss the court decision around foreign visas for students. The episode also covers the latest news in the life sciences and examines Definium's new psychedelics data and what it means for that field as a whole.

The episode is part of "The Readout LOUD," co-hosted by STAT journalists Elaine, Adam Feuerstein, and Allison DeAngelis. Elaine covers the boom in new obesity treatments, new drug payment models, how companies are affected by FDA changes, and the emerging psychedelics drug sector; Adam covers drug development, business, Wall Street, and biotechnology; and Allison covers hot startups and who is financing them.
