Monkeys

"In the course of his testimony in the Blake trial, Siegel disclosed that in one study, he had taught monkeys to smoke crack cocaine." He must be so proud. "Dr. Ronald K. Siegel is proud to be the first person to alert the medical world to the cocaine smoking epidemic (New England Journal of Medicine) and work with NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) to study the psychopharmacology of this addictive practice. Dr. Siegel went on to develop treatment protocols for the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization<WHO;PAHO>. Happily, the monkeys self-limited their volitional intake with no adverse reactions and did not require treatment. We have much to learn from their behavior." <Dr. Ronald K.

UCLA

Siegel was obviously faculty at University of California Los Angeles at some point, because he says so in his court testimony. However, he is not currently listed as faculty at the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, and he is not in the UCLA directory. Is he still faculty?

He is 71 years old; I doubt he is still faculty. --69.205.198.134 (talk) 08:41, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: He is 68 years old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.86.218.227 (talk) 23:28, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Ronald K. Siegel Offers Corrections: "I held various academic positions at UCLA from 1970 to 2009 where I carried out research, teaching, and clinical activities. I am still involved in the analysis, writing, and publication of all that I have discovered and learned during those 39 years. Like the late American comedian Jack Benny said, I will always be 39 years old." <Ronald K. Siegel, personal communication and CV> Dr. Ronald K. Siegel (talk) 18:27, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
