The Science of Psychedelics

Can LSD and psilocybin provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression and anxiety? Robin Carhart-Harris is a neuroscientist and head of the Imperial Centre for Psychedelic Research, which builds on over a decade of pioneering psychedelic research, including a clinical trial that has kick-started global efforts to develop psilocybin therapy into a licensed treatment for depression. The Centre focuses on two main research themes: the use of psychedelics in mental health care; and as tools to probe the brain’s basis of consciousness. The Centre is also working to develop a research clinic that could help to gather additional clinical evidence and become a prototype for the licensed psychedelic care facilities of the future.see more

Some children dream of running away and joining the circus -- actor Lorenzo Pisoni was actually born into one. Pisoni's parents founded San Francisco's beloved Pickle Family Circus, and he spent his childhood as the troupe's youngest performer. Pisoni's acclaimed one-man show "Humor Abuse," which tells the story of his unusual upbringing, is returning to American Conservatory Theater for a two-week run.

Guests:

Lorenzo Pisoni, actor, his one-man show "Humor Abuse" runs through Aug. 19 at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco
