Long days at #NAPainSchool but never a dull moment! One of the most awaited for workshops, Jennifer Haythornthwaite on #mentorship.

A North American Pain School highlight - impromptu debate with the brilliant Jeffrey Mogil about theory. Love how NAPS brings the basic and clinical research worlds together so that these kinds of conversations can happen. We need more of this in science!

My superstar colleague and friend Amery Treble-Barna started this program and it’s amazing. I watched her build something like this from scratch at Pitt and it was transformational for the people involved. If you’re a mom in science, pls check this out!
