Just got back from the 11th International Conference on Behavioral Addictions (Istanbul, Turkey).
As always, I had a very productive and rewarding time working at the conference.
It was fantastic to present my recent research on gambling disorder assessment and to make the case for moving the current gambling disorder assessment landscape further as it needs a major overhaul.
I am very grateful to all colleagues, new and old. It was a pleasure to connect with you all in-person again. Lots of new collaborations to come and some exciting ideas for new research!

See you soon!
