    Dr. Ankush Patel MD an academic physician with specialty interest in pathology, is driven to write for his peers of all circles by the same philosophy that drives him to write for the organizations he cares most about: the objective to provide high-quality, unbiased information that may be used to meet anyone where they are at in their journey, and carry them forward into wherever they seek to go next. In both academia and in the mainstream, there exists a sea of content that can be hard to sift through. With many providing a perspective or an opinion, his perspective is one that is steadfastly objective, particularly when writing for those who seek a resource that may serve to educate. Seeing this perspective shared by the like-minded team of individuals at ThePsychedelic.com is what drew him to offer his background in medicine and science writing for their cause: as part of a team he deeply respects, for an audience of readers who he deeply cares about.
