Are you a 9th-12th grade high school student interested in participating in a free, academic enrichment program funded by the National Institutes of Health SEPA program? Join us at Clarkson University this summer for BRAIN-STEM! This summer’s program, Exploring Drug Use and Addiction: A Neuroscientific Approach, will be a 1 week (5-day) full day program based on the Neuroscience of Drug Use and Addiction. Here, students will learn about drug use patterns in the U.S., the reasons why people use drugs, changes in the brain that cause addiction, and how addiction is treated. Students will work in small groups exploring these topics and learning how the basic science of drug use and addiction is related to addiction treatments. This program will also include a number of interesting activities, such as hearing from health care professionals that treat individuals that are addicted to drugs, and possible field trips to addiction treatment clinics.
