Kathryn (Kat) is currently working as a Research Associate on the NRLC project on two alcohol studies examining mechanisms underlying binge alcohol drinking (Alcohol Binging: Disruptions in Impulse Control and 5-HT as Underlying Mechanisms, R01AA018124) and methods to reduce this harmful pattern of alcohol consumption (Binge Drinking: Individual Differences in the Capacity to Alter Drinking Patterns, R01AA014988-07).
