One of the steepest learning curves in starting a faculty role is building a research team—but it’s also the most rewarding. Mentoring brilliant future scientists and being part of a collaborative team is what I love most about this work 🎂⭐️

Yesterday’s lab meeting was a creative workshop to co-design the Lived Experience section of our ENTRUST programme website.

We’re excited that this space will reflect our commitment to embedding cancer survivors’ lived experiences into every part of our research

#EFIC2025🇫🇷 has filled my cup this week. Always grateful for the chance to step outside the lab and hear feedback on our research from pain clinicians & researchers around the 🌍

And especially grateful for peer mentorship on navigating the exciting and challenging mid-career stage 🙏

So proud of my former postdoc-bestie, now collaborator Dr Inge Timmers @tilburguniversity.bsky.social! Inge shared our brand new data today at #EFIC2025🇫🇷 showing that inducing a stress-is-enhancing #mindset modulates stress-induced changes in pain tolerance. A beautiful pre-registered experiment 👏

Attending #EFIC2025🇫🇷? Interested in interoception and all-things #mind-body? I have the pleasure of presenting with @tanjahechler.bsky.social @fadelzeidan.bsky.social in a session tomorrow afternoon - 2pm in the Auditorium Lumière.

Looking forward to seeing this wonderful pain science community!

Hello Bluesky friends 👋 To celebrate moving to the blue side, here's a recent memory from our Body Mindset Mapping retreat at beautiful @casbsstanford.bsky.social. I'm honoured to work with Jer Clifton, Alia Crum & team to empirically map core beliefs about the body. Big data results coming soon!
