Huberman: Hair loss drugs finasteride and dutasteride can cause permanent sexual dysfunction

Huberman: U.S. Academic Science Should Replace PI Labs With Mission-Driven Incubators
“I think the independent investigator model of science in this country, where it's the Huberman lab, or it's the whatever lab named after the PI, I think that's a flawed model. This is gonna really upset some people. There should be labs named after a particula…”
Huberman: Most NIH-funded research is completed before grant approval
“Much of the work that's funded by NIH. Here's the dirty secret is already completed because they tend to fund things that are very certain to be completed. And so people put forward grants based on work and preliminary data showing I can do this. And it's alre…”
Academic science should replace PI labs with mission-focused labs

Huberman: People should not inject peptides labeled for research purposes only
“I do not think anyone should inject peptides that are labeled as for research purposes only because even if it says 99% purity, the one percent is likely to be something called LPS, lipopolysaccharide, which can cause inflammation. It's not a good thing to be …”
Huberman: Retatrutide will become a trillion-dollar drug
“This is going to be a trillion dollar drug, trillion dollar, but people are already taking it.”
Huberman: Predisposed Young Males Risk Irreversible Cannabis-Induced Psychosis

Huberman: MDMA will ultimately receive FDA approval for PTSD
“So I think ultimately it will be approved.”
Huberman: Funded research grants often fail the critical laboratory deletion test
“I sat on study section for a long time, and I can tell you there were clusters of grants that didn't solve what we call, what good labs call, the deletion test. If this laboratory didn't exist, would it change the direction of science? You have to pass the del…”
Congress is considering a 40 percent budget cut to the NIH

Huberman: Growth hormone boosts short-term vitality but accelerates aging
“This is the thing that people don't realize that there's always a dynamic tension between the things that give you vitality and the things that extend your life. For instance, if you take growth hormone, you'll feel more vital. You'll gain muscle more easily, …”
Huberman: Slashing indirect research costs will disproportionately hurt unendowed public universities
“I just personally, it's my view, this is my personal view, is that a severe cut to the indirects, while on the face of it might sound good, that's going to disproportionately Hurt the public schools without large endowments, okay, because they don't have money…”
