About Us


My name is Stephen Dewey and I study the effects of drugs of abuse on the brain. I work at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research where we put every drug to the test to figure out how they work on the brain. Please take time and watch a short video of one of my talks. I take our findings very seriously and you should too. What you see and hear could change the decisions you make today. My research on drugs of abuse on the brain has appeared on 20/20, Dateline, Good Morning America, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and FoxNews. John Stossel did an hour-long show called “Help me, I can’t help myself”  on 20/20 that featured me talking about my favorite topic: the effects of drugs on the brain.

The Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence has also honored me in 2011 for the word that I do spreading the word on the effects of drugs on the brain. The organization has an amazing web site that you can check out by clicking on the link: www.licadd.com
