YOUR 2026 OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALISTS 🗣️

Microglia mapped across the whole brain from the Western Mouse team—because in neurodegeneration, every cell counts. #Fluorescencefriday 🧠😍🔬

✨ Meet our #NAPainSchool 2026 visiting faculty! ✨ Luis Queme from the University of New England will join us in Montebello, Canada🍁 for the 2026 edition! Pr Queme will join as a NAPS 2016 alumnus and will present the ''NAPS to NOW'' talk.

#Groundhog Day reminder: rodents aren’t meteorologists.. but in translational research, they do help predict what treatments work in humans, like #TRIDENT's advanced models of brain disease. 👀🐀🔬👏 tridentpreclinicaltrials.org/mouse #NFRF @westernu.ca @schulichmeddent.bsky.social

A wonderful piece by @callimcflurry.bsky.social on how mechanosensitive PIEZO ion channels are being used to explore how our bodies rely on pressure sensing. It is a thoughtfully researched article, with perspectives from many colleagues across the field. www.thetransmitter.org/interoceptio...

Embracing the spirit of the holidays, our annual display at Burnet Campus highlights some of the different traditions, beliefs & cultures celebrated in Dec. The display includes symbols and visual representations that honor and respect the traditions of Hanukkah, Christmas & Kwanzaa. Happy Holidays!

A new story at The Transmitter about the PRECISION Human Pain Network's new DRG cell atlas: www.thetransmitter.org/peripheral-n... So rewarding to hear about colleagues who are already using our datasets in their own work.

Big new paper from us published yesterday: The synaptic ectokinase VLK triggers the EphB2–NMDAR interaction to drive injury-induced pain www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Led by @hajisciencebaji.bsky.social in my lab and a wonderful collaboration with Matthew Dalva's lab at Tulane

🚨 Mark your calendars for #NAPainSchool 🗣️ Please share with anyone that might be interested to join leading experts in the pain research field for an exceptional week of training, networking and more! northamericanpainschool.com/registration/ #Pain #PainResearch #NPAW2025 #PrioritizePain

A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine

This #WomensHistoryMonth, SfN celebrates women in neuroscience who have dedicated their lives and careers to educating and inspiring generations. Through research, mentorship, and leadership they continue to light the path forward for the next generation of scientists. #Neurosky

Make sure you, your trainees, and anyone else who might listen to you understands what "indirects" actually are, how they are established, and what Universities contribute. H/T @rodallab.bsky.social Please share widely! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxTD...

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate women researchers in pain science! Their dedication and discoveries pave the way for better solutions to treat chronic pain. Thank you for your invaluable contributions! 💜 #IDWGS2024 @scwist.bsky.social

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🧪 Celebrating the brilliant minds, past and present, who have pushed boundaries and shaped our understanding of the world. Here’s to the next generation of scientists who will take us even further!

For all professional genome editors (or anyone just using CRISPR in their research) EVERY day is International Day of Women & Girls in Science: Maria Jasin, Jennifer Doudna, and Emmanuelle Charpentier are the co-parents of the entire field! #WomenInSTEM

Hi #pain community! The North American Pain School, or NAPS, brings together leading experts in the fields of pain research & management to provide a unique educational & networking experience for the next generation of basic science and clinical pain researchers Follow #NAPainSchool to stay tuned!

Don’t miss ISPP 2025 in Glasgow, UK! From 17–20 June, connect with professionals dedicated to advancing pain care for infants, children, and adolescents. Secure your spot today: bit.ly/3UDnTjd #PediatricPain #ISPP2025

A big day for pain care, and for pain science. www.fda.gov/news-events/...

Showing up for work (and myself) in the face of potentially losing my PhD funding is SO SO HARD

Hello BlueSky! IASP is the leading global organization supporting the study and practice of pain relief. We're excited to share knowledge and connect with an excellent network of international pain professionals.
