Dr. Nicholas Timme, postdoc in psychology at Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, will present: "Examining compulsive drinking in a rodent model of alcohol use disorder."

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a devastating disease that negatively affects millions of Americans and costs billions of dollars a year. A key feature of AUD is compulsive drinking, wherein a person continues to consume alcohol despite negative consequences. In this month’s Science Café, we will discuss general theories of AUD and my research on compulsive drinking in a rodent model of AUD. In addition, I’ll talk about my somewhat unusual career path from physics to neuroscience. 

When: Tuesday, February 16, 2021, 6pm - 7pm.

Where: Zoom (https://olemiss.zoom.us/j/97568315885)
