Please Note: We are aware that several organizations and companies have security measures in place (eg firewalls) that prevent people from accessing certain kinds of sites or streaming video on the net. Unfortunately we've discovered that some of these prevent people from being able to view our live streaming broadcasts. We suggest that individuals who find that they are unable to watch the live broadcast do one of the following: contact their IT department and see whether or not there are any restrictions on their network OR find a computer outside of the network (home computer or internet cafe) and attempt to view the live broadcast that way.

As well we will be providing an archived copy of the ARV Update on our site approximately one week after the live broadcast. These files can be downloaded and watched later on your computer.

As a research psychiatrist and scientist, she pioneered the use of brain imaging to investigate the toxic effects of drugs and their addictive properties. She has published more than 440 peer-reviewed articles and more than 75 book chapters and non-peer reviewed manuscripts, and has also edited three books on the use of neuroimaging in studying mental and addictive disorders.
