Editor’s Note: Today we bring you an announcement from the Drug Policy Alliance’s Office of Academic Engagement. Last week, from November 18-21, the DPA held its International Drug Policy Reform Conference in Washington, D.C. There they awarded Dr. Robin Room, the sociologist specializing in drug and alcohol research whose work is well-known by readers of Points, with the Alfred R. Lindesmith Award for Achievement in the Field of Scholarship. Points heartily congratulates Dr. Room!
Final note: Points will be enjoying Thanksgiving on Thursday. Check back next week for more alcohol and drug history, and happy holidays to all!
