Abstract: The SRNT Trainee Network Spotlight highlights outstanding trainees in tobacco science, thereby providing visibility and networking opportunities. Please visit the Trainee Network’s website (http://www.srnt.org/mem_only/networks/trainee.cfm) to learn more about trainee webinars, the trainee mixer event at the annual meeting, and joining the network. ... Dr Kurti completed her PhD in psychology at the University of Florida, Gainesville, in 2014. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Vermont. Dr Kurti’s recent accomplishments in tobacco science include publishing the first laboratory-based assessment of a combined exercise plus contingency management approach to reducing cigarette smoking. Dr Kurti became interested in tobacco science because she found the challenge of developing innovative cessation interventions both intellectually stimulating and personally rewarding. Dr Kurti’s favorite part of being an SRNT member is attending the annual meeting because it provides the opportunity to learn from experts with a diverse training background. Her future training goals include working in tobacco regulatory science, developing novel smoking cessation treatments, and integrating technology with smoking cessation treatments to disseminate effective treatment to high-risk, vulnerable, and historically underserved populations (eg, low SES or rural smokers).
