WABR was founded a decade ago to educate the public on the value of biomedical research for the health of both humans and animals. The past ten years have been a magnificent implementation of that goal.
Biomedical research is a commitment to life.
Much remains to be done. Hijacking the Brain is an enhancement of the Making Connections program, designed to increase public knowledge of the neurobiology of addiction, increase public appreciation of the value and processes of drug abuse research, including the use of animals in research, and increase the interest of students in careers related to drug abuse research. Funding for this program is provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse at the National Institute of Health. Funding is administered by the University of Washington.
