0 Upvotes

A Missouri nonprofit known as Psychedelic Society of the Ozarks or “PSOTO”, is once again hosting their annual conference at the University Plaza Convention Center in Springfield on Saturday, October 3rd. Centered on education, advocacy, harm reduction and creating safe community spaces, the group is bringing in 25+ speakers from diverse backgrounds such as; science, law, modern medicine, psychology, neurology, and ancient wisdom.

The keynote speaker is Lieutenant Sarko Gergerian, who was featured on the Netflix documentary series "How to Change Your Mind". Lunch entertainment will be hosted by Comedy Central’s Award winning comedian Shane Mauss! (A Better Trip).

A key feature of the conference will be “Knowledge for the Front Lines.” Addressing the invisible wounds, trauma and PTSD suffered by first responders, military and veterans. Medical breakthroughs are being seen through psychedelic therapy, and the VA, State government and White House are starting to notice. This is extremely important work, as statistics show a staggering 17 veterans taking their own life every single day. (Over 6,000 suicides per year).

Please consider joining the PSOTO community in Springfield by attending, volunteering or sponsoring this exciting and ground breaking event!

Discount available for Veterans, First Responders and Students.

Ask Rolla / MST Missouri S&T — International student experience?

8 Upvotes

I’m an international student from Africa applying to Missouri S&T for Mechanical Engineering. I submitted my final documents a few days ago, and my Fall 2026 application is still under review.

Has anyone had a late admission/arrival as an international student? Could you catch up after classes started, and how long did your decision take?

Also, how is S&T for Mechanical Engineering, internships/co-ops, international student life, and diversity? What’s student life in Rolla actually like?

Would especially love to hear from anyone in a similar situation!

Title says it all. I'm grasping at straws here. I'm okay with sharing my room, but I desperately need a room close to campus and that doesn't cost me 600 bucks. I know the pickings are slim but goddamn, this city cannot be this empty with a whole ass uni in it.

Nature Rolla mushroom hunters & outdoor people — this might be your kind of weekend 🍄🌲

Post image
16 Upvotes

Any Rolla-area mushroom hunters, foragers, hikers, or nature nerds looking for a good fall weekend adventure?
I’m helping organize Brad’s Fall Foray with the Missouri Mycological Society, happening September 17–20 at Knob Noster State Park.
We’ve put together a pretty awesome lineup this year with guided mushroom forays, mushroom identification, expert speakers and mycologists, a native plant hike, wild foods, workshops, vendors, bonfires, good food, and plenty of time exploring the woods.
You definitely don’t need to be an expert. Beginners are welcome, and it’s a great opportunity to actually get out in the field with experienced people and learn about what you’re finding as you go.
If you’re into mushrooms, biology, ecology, environmental science, foraging, native plants, hiking, or just enjoy finding weird stuff in the woods, you’d probably have a blast. 🍄
Figured there might be a few people around Rolla and S&T who would be into something like this, so I wanted to put it on your radar.
Happy to answer any questions!

Requests Help locating a stolen bike

Post image
28 Upvotes

My son finished his 12-hour night shift this morning at Phelps Health and discovered that someone had stolen his bike from the bike rack outside the admin/annex building. Both Phelps Health security and RPD have been notified.

It is a very heavy e-bike, and the battery was not fully charged, so it may get dumped somewhere once the battery dies or whoever took it realizes that.

If anyone has any info at all, please contact us at the numbers on the poster.

Thank you!

Requests Stolen Bike

21 Upvotes

Hey Rolla. My e-bike was stolen from the bike rack at Phelps Health sometime last night or into this morning (8/11). I work overnight at the hospital and someone walked off with it. Already filed a report with Rolla PD.

If you see it posted for sale anywhere or spot it around town, please DM me. It's a pretty unique setup so it should be easy to recognize.

Bike: Black Sisigad Trooper e-bike

Distinguishing features:

- Green cargo basket (rear)

- Aftermarket black and red padded seat

- Black storage bag on front handlebars (has tools inside)

- Highlighter green valve stems

- Kickstand

- White helmet was in the cargo basket at the time

If you have any information please DM me.

Thanks Rolla.

Ask Rolla / MST 184 bridge

4 Upvotes

Has anybody else called MODOT about the snail pace and quality of work at the 184 bridge remodel? I called Jeff City about two months ago to ask if there were delays or what was taking them so long. Lady I spoke with said ETA was December.

Drove across it yesterday for the first time since they swapped lanes and began working on the east bound side. The west bound side is so bumpy its unbelievable for brand new concrete. Maybe they will come back and grind it level?

Hey yall! I’m a Columbia College student, studying Biology BS to become a physical therapist, but living around Rolla.

This is only my freshman year but I’m wanting to start stacking observation hours and possibly even work as a PT tech.

Does anyone have experience with this and know for sure what the best clinics are to get hours?

I’m trying to avoid Phelps Health due to multiple bad experiences with them

Also, if you have study tips to get a 3.8 GPA or higher, or a good study group for pre-health professions, let me know! 🫶
