Alex is a rockstar! So glad to see her work featured. Definitely a proud mentor moment….
First-year Ph.D. student Alexandra N. Johansen led a major systematic review published in Pharmacological Reviews, helping guide the search for effective treatments for methamphetamine use disorder and addressing a critical public health challenge.

CPDD is at @ASPET in Minneapolis this week! Stop by our booth to say hi to Heather and learn more about how we connect and support SUD and addition researchers.
Nice to see so many friends and colleagues quoted in this new Scientific American article! scientificamerican.com/artic…

We are looking forward to the 2026 #Alcohol GRC in Ventura, CA! The main meeting starts Feb 22, 2026 (GRS Feb 21-22). For both, we will be selecting additional invited talks from the submitted abstracts. For consideration, submit your abstract by Oct 10! #alcoholGRC2026
Thanks @RecoveryAnswers for helping get the word out about this trial!
In this study where people with cocaine use disorder received money as a reward for negative cocaine tests (contingency management), reducing cocaine use helped improve cardiovascular health in individuals with cocaine use disorder.

Took a break from socials for Lent but this paper came out during that time, so I'm publicizing it now.
Very proud of our team's work to show benefits of non-abstinence cocaine treatment outcomes!

Last minute study section cancellation has been deeply disruptive and troubling to those submitting and those reviewing alike but it looks like those cancelled meetings can start being scheduled again.

Landed at PHL and so excited to spend time with my friends @CSARtemplemed tomorrow!
This is a big, big deal!

It can be challenging to publish data for very novel and innovative strategies. @ECP_editor invites papers on technologies, behavioral/pharmaceutical targets, interventions and deployments, and ethical/practical considerations. buff.ly/3B5KlLk
Wonderful seeing @KatieWitkiewitz bring her addiction science and treatment wisdom to the PBS News Hour last night! @apadivision50 @APADiv28 @CPDDorg (plus, so nice to get a plug for reductions in drinking as a valid tx goal out to a national audience)
