Advertisement 89.7 WGBH, Boston Public Radio WGBH Archives Bring Depth to Today’s Life Science Stories 5am 6am 7am 7:50am 9am 10am 12pm 1pm 2pm 3pm 4pm 6pm 7pm 8pm 12am By Phil Redo Managing Director, 89.7 WGBH, Boston Public Radio Almost five years ago, during a speech at the BIO 2007 conference, Governor Deval Patrick announced the Massachusetts Life Sciences Initiative: a $1 billion investment package (over 10 years) to enhance and strengthen the state’s already internationally recognized leadership in the field. Life sciences is one of WGBH Radio’s editorial areas of concentration, and last fall listeners to WGBH’s Morning Edition heard an intriguing story reported by host Bob Seay. A young metabolic engineer, Jake Wintermute, and his colleagues at Harvard Medical School think they may have unlocked some important secrets about LSD, the notorious and illegal drug promoted in the 1960s by doctor/guru Timothy Leary. For more than 40 years, LSD and its close chemical relative, lysergic acid, have basically been under lock and key as controlled substances, and strictly regulated by both federal and state laws. Wintermute, who recently earned a PhD from Harvard Medical School in the Department of Systems Biology, has been researching pathways to new drugs these long-blacklisted compounds might yield. His interest is in lysergic acid, which can be made both cheaply and quickly using new bioengineering methods. The actual mechanism by which the compound works is still somewhat mysterious, Wintermute admitted, but said it has something to do with it What’s on 89.7 WGBH Monday–Friday BBC World Update The Takeaway Morning Edition/Marketplace Morning The Xconomy Report (Fri) The Takeaway The Diane Rehm Show The Emily Rooney Show The Callie Crossley Show Fresh Air The World All Things Considered The World PBS NewsHour Jazz on WGBH with Eric Jackson/ Jazz on WGBH with Steve Schwartz (Fri) Jazz with Bob Parlocha Saturday acting as a vasodilator: “It sort of opens up the blood vessels of the brain, improves the circulation in the brain; the sort of enhanced clarity that people on these drugs can sometimes benefit from comes from that.” While the technology is obviously critical, so is curiosity and, in this case, a dose of courage. “There are a lot of exciting new drugs that are being developed thanks to these new bioengineering technologies,” Wintermute told WGBH. “And no one yet has taken up lysergic acid as a kind of promising new precursor, and I think a lot of that is because there is this kind of stigma, taboo, when you are working on something that is so illegal or so close to illegal.” The potential benefits of such a new drug? Easing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, a therapy for migraines and treatment for elder dementia. Drawing from materials in WGBH’s archives, Seay’s radio piece featured the opinions of the late Dr. Leary, who could be heard debating the benefits of LSD with Jerome Lettvin, an MIT professor, psychiatrist and cognitive scientist. Their exchange was lifted from a program that aired on WGBH television back in 1967. Far out!

Jazz on WGBH with Eric Jackson A 20th-Century Panorama Host Eric Jackson celebrates Black History Month with a sweeping look at some African American musicians who have helped shape the musical landscape over the past century. On February 6, Jackson takes us on a tour through music from the early 20th century up to 1950, highlighting such artists as Count Basie, Bessie Smith and Billy Eckstine. Jackson’s February 13 show escorts us from 1950 until now, featuring such artists as Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin and Mahalia Jackson. The final two shows of the month look at the music of Duke Ellington. Mon, 2/6, 2/13, 2/20 & 2/27 at 8pm Jazz on WGBH with Steve Schwartz In the Land of Jazz Harold Land came to jazz early: he began playing the saxophone at 16 and made his first recording as part of Froebel Brigham’s band when he was 21. He spent most of his career on the West Coast, where he met and became a member of The Max Roach-Clifford Brown Quintet, developing his hard-bob playing and making jazz history. Learn more about his life and music in tonight’s program. Fri, 2/17 at 8pm A Celtic Sojourn Songs of the Scribe Host Brian O’Donovan explores a brand-new CD, Songs of the Scribe, by Pádraigín Ni Uallacháin, a Northern Ireland singer who has specialized over the years in Gaelic language and children’s songs. Sat, 2/18 at 3pm Arts & Ideas The Language of Race In this two-part special, Voices of Our World examines the traditional language used to discuss race in America, and engages in a conversation with Dr. Rich Benjamin, author of Searching For Whitopia: An Improbable Journey to the Heart of White America. Benjamin explores the fastest growing and whitest communities across the nation. Sun, 2/5 at 8pm WTF with Marc Maron WTF is the name of the popular podcast from comedian and provocateur Marc Maron. Each interview on WTF is a journey into the depths of a comic's psyche. In this episode, Maron talks with Ben Stiller and comic Tig Notaro. Stiller may be one of the biggest movie stars in the world, but he is not above sitting in the garage for a chat with Maron about show biz, parents, rivalries, Judd Apatow, anxieties and Heat Vision & Jack. And, Notaro talks about why she hates people who take pity on female comics. Sun, 2/12 at 9pm The World’s Geo Quiz Where in the World Is… Test your grasp of geography with The World’s Geo Quiz: This tiny resort town (pictured) in southeastern Europe stands out as one of the southernmost towns in Montenegro. It sits 75 miles south of Dubrovnik and has a fabulous view of the Adriatic Sea. The waves on the beaches attract lots of Albanian, German, Italian and eastern European tourists. It’s not as well known as other spots on the Adriatic, such as Dubrovnik and Budva, but it does have a fascinating history: the seaport that was at one time a haven for pirates also has a black community that dates back centuries. Where is this melting pot on the Adriatic?
