In July 2020, the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) in the US gave their Annual Research Award to Spencer’s paper in Addiction, titled ‘Zoned in or zoned out? Investigating immersion in slot machine gambling using mobile eye‐tracking’. Congratulations to Spencer and hats off to a substantial team of colleagues and collaborators without whom this paper would not have been possible, including Eve Limbrick-Oldfield, Mario Ferrari and Kent Macdonald from the Centre, Mariya Cherkasova (Centre for Brain Health), and Miriam Spering and Jolande Fooken (both UBC Ophthalmology).
