In the next decade, NASA\u2019s Artemis program will first orbit and then land on the lunar surface. What may seem like a rerun from the 1960s is designed to establish a more permanent human presence on the Moon. This will be used for both scientific and private aims, and it may serve as a stepping-stone to Mars. In this eBriefing, we\u2019ll learn more about what\u2019s planned, what we gain from human space exploration, and how we establish international agreements off-planet."},{"id":2377,"link":"https:\/\/www.nyas.org\/shaping-science\/events\/ebriefing\/psychedelics-to-treat-depression-and-psychiatric-disorders\/","name":"psychedelics-to-treat-depression-and-psychiatric-disorders","thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/www.nyas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/NYAS-Swirl-Featured-Image-1024x1024.png","alt":"The logo for The New York Academy of Sciences."},"title":"Psychedelics to Treat Depression and Psychiatric Disorders","author":{"name":"The New York Academy of Sciences","link":"https:\/\/www.nyas.org\/author\/nyas_dev_admin\/"},"date":"Jun 1, 2021","dateGMT":"2021-06-01 16:32:46","modifiedDate":"2025-01-28 17:16:23","modifiedDateGMT":"2025-01-28 17:16:23","commentCount":"0","commentStatus":"closed","categories":{"coma":"Uncategorized","space":"Uncategorized"},"taxonomies":{"blog-category":"<a href='https:\/\/www.nyas.org\/blog-category\/research-summaries\/' rel='blog-category'>Research Summaries<\/a>","feature":"<a href='https:\/\/www.nyas.org\/feature\/partner-funder\/' rel='feature'>Partner\/Funder<\/a>","program-category":"<a href='https:\/\/www.nyas.org\/program-category\/events\/' rel='program-category'>Events<\/a>","scientific-theme":"<a href='https:\/\/www.nyas.org\/scientific-theme\/health-disease\/' rel='scientific-theme'>Health & Disease<\/a>"},"readTime":{"min":7,"sec":36},"status":"publish","excerpt":"Currently the FDA categorizes psychedelics such as LSD and psilocybin as Schedule I drugs, indicating that these substances have no medical value.
