Really pleased to have kept the promise I made during our workshop at EFIC (@maitevdm.bsky.social, @head-like-egg.bsky.social), and our work on the stability of pain habituation/sensitisation, and the underlying neural mechanisms. A long way to go, and a deep field of study. #psychology #pain #efic

Have you undergone a gynaecological procedure, or know people who have? @tiger-uk.bsky.social want to hear from the patient voice. Can you complete this brief 5-10min survey, and help circulate in your own channels too? Share far and wide! We need patient voices. Survey: shorturl.at/Gqdo6

Once again, another lovely bit of news coming out of the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust. I can confirm, they are overall, a generally lovely bunch of highly professional carers. Very pleased to know them #RBFT #NHS www.royalberkshire.nhs.uk/news/royal-b...

Fantastic news, and well-earned acknowledgement of the quality of their clinical research output these days. @ameliahollywood.bsky.social www.royalberkshire.nhs.uk/news/royal-b...

Well and truly collapsing across the finish line this year. Goodness me that was one hell of a semester. Wishing everyone a restful and regenerative Christmas break and happy new year.

Very interesting work on the power of expectation in pain management: Treating human beings, not isolated mechanisms. #neuroscience #painscience #psychology

Tremendous campaign that I've very happily been a part of in the past. Fully deserving of their nomination and the knowledge that this is simply another big step in a powerful journey.

Some of us in the ADVANTAGE visceral pain consortium (@denklab.bsky.social + others not on 🦋 yet) recently got together to talk about all thinks visceral pain courtesy of @rpseal.bsky.social who runs The Pain Beat podcast 😃 #neuroskyence #PainResearch www.iasp-pain.org/publications...

Happy to be off Twitter, and hope Bluesky resists the same decline.. Taking the opportunity to share my PhD student, Lydia Tidmarsh's, recent review on the devastating 'iceberg' of childhood trauma in chronic pain. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35756908/
