Being the @IASPpain “research poster girl” for the last 2 yrs has been fun, I hope trainees got their abstracts in by the deadline! All the great conversations I had by my poster were insightful and helped me finalize the study that ended up published in PAIN the following year!
My final poster presentation as a PhD student happened to be in the same location (MedSci building) as my first ever poster presentation in undergrad. I tend to express myself with colour, and so as a nod of gratitude to my younger self I dressed in the same colourscheme [1/2]
The study that I won a poster award for in the “Pain and sensory disorders” category at last year’s CPIN research day (@CPIN_UofT ) was published this month in EJP!! If you have not read it yet here is the link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
It's the best feeling seeing your work presented to others in the field and was a privilege to get to collect neuroimaging and behavioral data from people with chronic pain receiving SCS treatment @kren27 @DrAnujBhatia. My final PhD paper published last week is linked below!

It’s so nice to see you and we hope you’ll join us at the Manhattan Lounge today at 6:30 pm 🥰
Beyond pain scores/reflexes: the wealth of additional knowledge from expressions and rapid movements in people and animals - particularly when captured by high-speed videography as demonstrated by @IshmailSaboor at @NAPainSchool #NAPainSchool
Behind the scenes: The NAPS-PRF Correspondents @PainResForum late last night learning how to set up the mics for our @NAPainSchool podcast interviews! 🎙 thank you @ErwanQprn for all your help 🙏

Grateful for the opportunity to share my research at NAPS and for all the supportive and kind comments following my talk! 💖 Feeling so lucky to be here with such brilliant, lovely and supportive people. Thank you @NAPainSchool and @cpn_rdc for sponsoring me!

This was a challenging and stimulating lunch topic led by Michael Suillivan "Can psychological factors "cause pain"" - and how this claim impacts policy, social empathy and the lived experiences of those with chronic pain shared by Laurent Dupuis #NAPainSchool #patientpartners
A common theme in @DrCChambers and Jennifer Haythornthwaite's morning talks at the @NAPainSchool - pain catastrophizing starts in children and integrating evidence based management of pain needs to include children and family that advocate for them #NAPainSchool @KidsInPain
Yes, pain research really IS that interesting!😊 mission accomplished with the lecture I gave last week ✅ Always happy to give this talk for @Neurosci101CPIN. These brilliant students are learning a lot of neuroscience concepts early on via Neurosci101!
Such valuable perspectives on chronic pain from patient partners like @_justinam given @CanadianPain webinar. Experiences even applicable to other chronic conditions during #COVID19 ; the loss of "movement [as] medicine" and risks of traveling to access medical care #CPSPlus
