Imagine you or someone you love had to choose between treatment for opioid use disorder or cancer, because doing both was logistically impossible. We explore this and potential reforms in a piece released today in @NEJM. @kfjonespallnp @PaulJoudreyMD @DianeEMeier @SMeghani_PhD

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!

A @NAPainSchool highlight - impromptu debate with the brilliant @JeffreyMogil 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!

@JeffreyMogil vs @JessicaMerlinMD: Does theory matter in clinical implementation research?

Just attended an absolutely mind-blowing talk by Jeff Corder @FlyBottleEscape 🙌🏼🔥
He used the "Dune pain box" analogy and animated neural circuits to explain pain evaluation—insightful and captivating! @NAPainSchool #NAPS2024
