The Canopy with Jacob Hooker

✓

Claim

A diagnosis, a treatment, a story, a felt experience: four accounts of the same mind, and they don't fully agree. Help us find out why. The Canopy is a series of unhurried, one-on-one conversations about how differently mental health gets described depending on who's doing the describing: the scientist, the doctor, the culture, the person living it. Guests are scientists, physicians, and historians who've spent real time close to the problem, and each conversation follows the open questions wherever they lead, in pursuit of truths none of those four accounts reach alone. Hosted by Jacob Hooker, a scientist who spent seventeen years studying the chemistry of the brain at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital before co-founding Sensorium Therapeutics, where he now develops psychiatric medicines drawn from nature's own chemistry. Understanding on its own was never quite enough for him; The Canopy is where that same search keeps going, out loud, with people who take it as seriously as he does. New episodes regularly.
