"Professor of Sociology Dr. Joanna Kemper follows a group of people united only by debilitating cluster headaches, who, after coming together in the early days of the internet, developed their own medicine from home-grown mushrooms, produced near-clinical grade trials and dosing protocols, and managed to get academics at Harvard and Yale to test their work and results.

Autorenporträt
Joanna Kempner, PhD, Associate Professor of Sociology at Rutgers, writes, researches, and teaches at the intersections of science, medicine, and inequality. Kempner’s attention to overlooked problems in health and illness challenges how medicine talks about, understands, and makes policies for those it serves. Her research is often featured in policy debates and has been extensively covered by major national media outlets, such as NPR¸ The Washington Post, Associated Press, Science, The Guardian, and The Philadelphia Inquirer.
