Neuroethics of Addiction Conference (Reiner)

By Peter Reiner

The National Core for Neuroethics is sponsoring a great program of speakers at a conference entitled Neuroethics of Addiction on Tuesday April 14, 2009 at the spectacular Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver. Plenary lectures by Tony Phillips (Addiction is a Brain Disease) and Michael Krausz (Treatment of Addiction and Concurrent Disorders: Between Prohibition and Stigma), both from UBC, and Wayne Hall (Reaping Benefits and Avoiding Misuse of Addiction Neurobiology) from the University of Queensland will be followed by a panel discussion entitled ?Neuroethics of Addiction: From the Laboratory to the Street?. Chaired by Lorraine Greaves, the panel will include Russ Maynard from Insite, Thomas Kerr from UBC, as well as plenary speaker Wayne Hall.

This is a free public event, and all are welcome to attend.

If you are not able to attend, you can read summaries of the presentations next week at our new blog Core Neuroethics.
