As part of the establishment of the new Science Board, renowned neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart has been appointed as Chief Science Officer. A leading authority in brain health and neuroplasticity, Dr. Tara will guide DIRTEA’s ongoing commitment to education and product development, ensuring the highest standards of scientific integrity across its groundbreaking range of functional mushroom products.
As part of the collaboration, Dr. Tara will create content for DIRTEA, including social media posts, blog posts and articles to educate about the powerful benefits of functional mushrooms, particularly their ability to enhance mental clarity, cognitive function, and overall wellbeing.
