March 2023 "A Bud & Beyond" Award goes to Cari!

Cari received the award because of her stellar support of all efforts across the lab. Not only does she provide high-level assistance on grant writing and analysis of data/writing manuscripts from many of our large trials, but she also provides amazing support to our PRAs and undergraduates who want to get more in-depth experience in research. For example, she has developed a psychedelics research interest group across CUChange and CHAOS, helped Maddie and Harmony to analyze data on psychedelic use in SONIC participants and submit a poster abstract to the ICR conference, and she is mentoring Cassie to analyze and present her honors thesis data. She does all of this while developing her own independent program of research in maladaptive substance use, culminating in the recent submission of her K award. For all these reasons Cari deserves the A Bud and Beyond Award!!
