Balodis, PhD., Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences, McMaster University https://www.icrg.org/funded-research/education-category-deirdre-querney-m-s-w-alcohol-drug-gambling-services-in-hamilton-ontario-and-iris-m-balodis-phd-associate-professor-of-psychiatry-and-behavioural-neurosciences-mcmaster/ Tue, 29 Aug 2023 17:43:38 +0000 https://www.icrg.org/blog/funded-research/education-category-deirdre-querney-m-s-w-alcohol-drug-gambling-services-in-hamilton-ontario-and-iris-m-balodis-phd-associate-professor-of-psychiatry-and-behavioural-neurosciences-mcmaster/ According to Marc Potenza, MD, PhD, Yale School of Medicine, who nominated Dr. Balodis and Ms. Querney for this award:

"Brain Connections is one of the most successful knowledge translation projects that I have ever seen. For instance, fourteen thousand people have visited the website and another thirteen thousand have seen the Driven to Gamble video on YouTube. It is easy to see the appeal. The Brain Connections material facilitates learning, is engaging, non-threatening, and accessible for a broad range of literacy levels."                                                                                                                                       
It is rare for a scientist and clinician to collaborate at this level in order to create a knowledge translation project that teaches up-to-date science on the neurobiology of gambling disorder through a video that is engaging and accessible for a broad range of literacy levels.

The ICRG salutes Dr. Balodis and Ms. Querney for successful efforts to bridge the gap between science and practice.

The Scientific Achievement Award will be presented on Monday, Oct. 9, 2023, at the Awards Luncheon during the ICRG Conference on Gambling and Addiction.
