Addiction Research Journal Club Articles
The Addiction Research Journal Club meets from 4:00p.m.-5:00p.m. on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month in Room 409 of the Basic Science Building (BSB 409). For the most part, a journal article authored by the upcoming Addiction Research Seminar speaker is reviewed and discussed in order to better prepare for the speaker's seminar presentation. | Date | Journal Club | Article Title | | 5/14/2009 | Christian Luscher, PHD
