Our former colleague, Travis Thompson, together with Roy
Pickens (formerly in the U of MN Psychiatry Department), received the Peter
Dews Award from the Association of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.
This award, conferred at the 40th annual Behavioral Pharmacology Conference in
San Diego in early April, was based on their seminal book, Behavioral
Pharmacology, as well as Professor Thompson's early work on drug
self-administration and successes in the training program at Minnesota. It is
always nice to hear about these successes among our department alumni!
