30th Anniversary Meeting for the Society for the
Stimulus Properties of Drugs.
2008 represents the 30th year of the
Society for Stimulus Properties of Drugs. SSPD was founded in 1978
by Don Overton, Herb Barry, and John Rosecrans and others with the
first official meeting of the new society being held at the meeting
of the Committee for Problems on Drug Dependence (CPDD) in Baltimore
that year. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of SSPD
a one day meeting is planned for this fall in Washington, D.C. The
meeting will be held as a satellite meeting of the Society for
Neuroscience meeting as has been the tradition for a number of
years.
There will be an evening meeting on Friday,
November 14th beginning at 5 pm. This is the night
before the Neuroscience meeting starts. In addition, a special issue of
Psychopharmacology on the Stimulus Properties of Drugs is being
planned to coincide with this celebration.
Additional details about the 30th
Anniversary Meeting and the Special issue of Psychopharmacology
will be forthcoming soon. In the mean time if you have questions or
suggestions please contact Joseph H. Porter, President of SSPD at
jporter@vcu.edu.
