Dr. Amanda Raines, Clinical Investigator at Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System and Assistant Professor at LSU, once again deserves the community's recognition for continuing to tackle one of the most serious problems in health and mental health, the science–practice gap, a divide between research literature and applied interventions. In 2021, Dr. Raines continued reducing that gap with her community connections and involvement efforts. A distinguished scientist herself, she directed training programs through the Louisiana Psychological Association "Science Cafe," connecting practitioners with research scientists from across the state. Well done!
