What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In the new special series 'Behind the Masthead,' hosted by Casey Kelver, listeners are treated to an engaging exploration of the challenges facing addiction science and publishing today. Kelver, who usually works behind the scenes as the editorial director at the Grayken Center for Addiction, steps into the spotlight to discuss the impact of recent federal funding changes on addiction research.
With a unique perspective from her roles in editing and managing addiction journals, she brings together editors, data scientists, and scholars to discuss how these shifts affect the dissemination of vital addiction research.
The series kicks off with an insightful conversation with editors from the Grayken Center's own journal, 'Addiction Science and Clinical Practice.'

Kelver’s candid discussions promise to shed light on these pressing issues while maintaining a hopeful outlook for the future of addiction science.
