Bruce Damer, PhD, is Canadian-American multidisciplinary scientist, designer, and author. He is the founder of MINDS (Multidisciplinary Investigation Into Novel Discoveries & Solutions) which is focused on finding psychedelic-assisted innovation solutions. Working as an Astrobiologist, Dr Damer collaborates with colleagues developing and testing a new scenario for the origin of life on Earth and where it might arise in the universe. As a designer he has provided innovative spacecraft architectures to NASA and others which could provide a viable path for the expansion of life and civilization beyond the Earth. Dr Damer has recently gone on public record that he has used a combination of mindfulness practices and psychedelics to achieve some of his key scientific and technical breakthroughs. His passion in co-founding MINDS is that many others with special capacities in these realms should have access to mentorship, scientifically validated protocols, and pathways to transform their own novel discoveries into solutions to bring about a brilliant future for Humanity.
