Excellent endogenous opioid symposium in Tromsø by @renatamarchette.bsky.social Slide highlights results from recent metaanalysis of pain sensitivity in opioid users by @martintrostheim.bsky.social & @marieeikemo.bsky.social

Today it’s official: my ERC CoG proposal on the full spectrum of opioid effects was funded 💃🤩💃 (Short description found here: affectivebrains.com/portfolio/spectro/) Thrilled to be celebrating this & other wins of 2024 with this wonderful group of colleagues

Looking forward to delivering a lecture today on effect sizes and power analysis for a second-year research methods course. God bless Kristoffer Magnusson for his web apps rpsychologist.com/cohend/ 🙏

What a great experience to have written our lab handbook - if you're curious what we do and how we (aim to) do things, or consider applying for a position, this is the place to look! 🧠📈 All thanks to @martinasaltafossi.bsky.social and Teresa Berther as well as @elife.bsky.social for the initiative.
