Holly L. Chapman is pursuing a doctoral degree in translational medicine at The University of Texas Medical Branch, studying impulsivity as a risk factor for substance use disorders (SUDs). She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from The University of Texas at Austin and a master’s degree in psychology from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. Chapman volunteers with organizations focused on STEM education for underrepresented groups and harm reduction for individuals with SUDs. She co-founded the Community Overdose Response and Recovery Effort (CORRE) and served as vice president of the Women’s Association of Minority Scientists, both of which received Civic Engagement Microgrants from Research!America. As a Graduate Archer Fellow, she aims to advocate for policies that reduce stigma and improve access to care for individuals with SUDs. After graduation, Chapman plans to pursue a career in medical communications, with a focus on science policy related to mental health.
