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

Study: Too Few Teachers of Color in Public Schools

California classrooms may be getting more diverse, but public school teachers don't reflect that trend, according to a new study by The Center for American Progress. The report finds that while 73 percent of the state's K-12 students are non-white, only 29 percent of teachers are people of color. We'll discuss the findings, and why the authors conclude that we need to do more to increase diversity in our teaching ranks.

Guests:

Ulrich Boser, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and an author of the report "Teacher Diversity Revisited: A New State- by-State Analysis"
