PRI's The World - Geo Quiz Podcast 280
LSD Birthplace

The hallucinogenic drug L-S-D was first identified in the 1930s by a Swiss chemist in his laboratory. For our quiz ... we want you locate the lab. It's in a city in north-west Switzerland along the Rhine River. The discovery of LSD was just a blip in the history of this city. Today it's a major chemical and pharmaceutical center. So try to name this Swiss city that borders Germany and France. We'll remember the Swiss father of LSD ...when we reveal the answer.

The World's Geo Quiz tests your knowledge of world geography, and introduces you to fascinating people and places around the globe. The World is a US-based international news and analysis program co-produced by the BBC World Service, Public Radio International, and WGBH Boston.
