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!
