Study of LSD microdosing doesn't show a therapeutic effect
Proponents of LSD "microdosing"—taking small amounts of the drug at regular intervals—claim it can improve mood and cognitive function. But new research by the University of Chicago has not found evidence to support those claims.
Harriet de Wit, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience at UChicago, noted that the study doesn't disprove microdosing's possible benefits, and that more investigation is needed. The study does show that taking small doses of LSD is safe. De Wit said the findings point to the important role scientists can play in testing the therapeutic claims made about recreational drugs.

It Turns Out Species Can Go Extinct Twice... And The Second Time Is For Keeps
Species can actually go extinct more than once. In a biological sense, species become extinct when the last animal of a species stops breathing. But they can also become extinct a second time, researchers say.

US man who got 1st pig heart transplant dies after 2 months
David bennett, 57, died tuesday at the university of maryland medical center. doctors didn’t give an exact cause of death, saying only that his condition had begun deteriorating several days earlier.
Bennett’s son praised the hospital for offering the last-ditch experiment, saying the family hoped it would help further efforts to end the organ shortage.
Doctors for decades have sought to one day use animal organs for life-saving transplants. Bennett, a handyman from Hagerstown, Maryland, was a candidate for this newest attempt only because he otherwise faced certain death — ineligible for a human heart transplant, bedridden and on life support, and out of other options.
