Would really like to go to CPA next month. I think conference presentations may be considered “essential” - right?

Grateful to have been involved in these important findings. More to come in this domain!

Catch our symposium on sports betting next month at the CPA conference @apadivision50.bsky.social

We are pleased to finally share this paper! Our press release is linked below (paper at the end of the thread)

Really excited to share our new paper that shows that not only personal experiences of alcohol reward drive acute craving and subsequent alcohol use, but the perception of the effects others might be feeling at the same time is also equally influential! @jtwaddell7.bsky.social

New accomplishment unlocked: successfully recovered an unsaved word document.

It took 35 panic-riddled minutes but recovered almost two hours worth of work 🙌🏼

No one loves (and hates) their research more than the grad student grinding through their thesis.

Come check out the exciting milestone research from the next generation!

Thank you @king5news.com.web.brid.gy for the opportunity to share the growing risks of sports betting with the public.
