Over 30 million psychedelic users in the United States

We estimated lifetime prevalence of psychedelic use (lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), psilocybin (magic mushrooms), mescaline, and peyote) by age category using data from a 2010 US population survey of 57,873 individuals aged 12 years and older. There were approximately 32 million lifetime psychedelic users in the US in 2010; including 17% of people aged 21 to 64 years (22% of males and 12% of...

Algal Transgenics and Biotechnology

Transgenesis in algae is a complex and fast-growing technology. Selectable marker genes, promoters, reporter genes, transformation techniques, and other genetic tools and methods are already available for various species and currently ~25 species are accessible to genetic transformation. Fortunately, large-scale sequencing projects are also planned, in progress, or completed for several of thes...

NTP Talks Transgenics

It is indeed a pleasure and a privilege to be asked to give this lecture in memory of a fine medical scientist, whose career was cut so sadly short by violence. In looking at the program today I cannot help but think of another scientist, to whom this field owes so much, whose life was also cut short unexpectedly. Alick Isaacs, the discoverer of interferon, was a brilliant medical scientist and...

Retinal processing: Visionary transgenics

Two recent reports in which transgene techniques were used to label specific cell classes in the mouse retina have opened the way to new methods of studying retinal signal processing.
