You don't want to miss the first episode of the Pain Beats 'Nobel Prize series'! Throughout this series @tayler_sheahan chats to @DJuliusSF @ardemp @Alex_Chesler @Bautista_DianaM and others about their groundbreaking discoveries that put pain research in the spotlight 💡
Curious about @DJuliusSF’s path to the Nobel Prize? What it felt like to for Michael Caterina to discover the capsaicin receptor? 🎧Tune into Episode 1 of The Pain Beat’s Nobel Prize Series! open.spotify.com/episode/2d6…
Brand new preprint from @CharlesWarwick7 @decouvriez and twitterless Rick Koerber! They use 2p Ca2+ imaging to look at what dorsal horn populations mediate central sensitization after capsaicin
Our latest preprint! We used 2p Ca2+ imaging coupled with pharmacological profiling to identify interneuron and spinoparabrachial populations in the spinal dorsal horn that mediate capsaicin-induced central sensitization. We used an ex vivo prep 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
🚨 Fantastic new paper from @janehartung This paper gives us a unique look at VGCCs in humans 🧑🤝🧑and rats 🐀 p.s #sciencetwitter she's on the job market and would be an absolute catch for any department!
If you haven’t checked it out already, @GoldPainLab and I published a paper this summer characterizing voltage-gated Ca2+ currents in human DRG neurons- it's chock full of interesting observations unique to human sensory neurons. bit.ly/3F0gGzp

Congrats to @nicole_scheff a @UPMCHillmanCC Junior Scholar award winner 🥇 👩🔬
Congratulations to the @UPMCHillmanCC Scientific Retreat Junior Scholar Award Winners! @RPatelMDPHD @TLHagan @ArbelyYael @hwbulls @KMBaileylab @nicole_scheff @PittHealthSci
Another fantastic episode of #thepainbeat
What is pain & why do we experience it? Can researchers objectively measure pain? Why has the pain field been holding onto nociceptive measures so tightly? @TawfikLab @IshmailSaboor @MarkZylka & Carl Saab share insights in this episode of The Pain Beat! 🎧painresearchforum.org/forums…
A couple of new papers from the PCPR for you all. The Scheff and Saloman combined forces for an excellent review on cancer neuroimmunology bit.ly/3Baip3A and the Saloman lab published their first clinical pancreatitis pain research paper! bit.ly/3A6wkpX
Big congrats to @ardemp and @DJuliusSF their work has been very important for so many of us
A day to be thankful: this country gave me a chance with a great education and support for basic research. And for my labbies and collaborators for partnering with me. So glad @NancyAHong captured this "touching" moment. #PIEZO
👩🔬🐭 New paper from @Brad_Taylor_PhD lab. Basu et al showed sex differences in KOR inhibition of PKA dependent mechanisms that drive post operative latent sensitization. bit.ly/3kCp3d4

#BlackInNeuroRollCall Hi I’m Ruby, an MD/PhD candidate at the University of Pittsburgh studying pain and addiction circuitry in the midbrain 🧠🐭So excited for round 2!!! #BlackInNeuroWeek2021
Tune into the latest episode of #thepainbeat a much anticipated discussion on the importance of sex differences in research
"Sex differences are not just to be enjoyed but should be studied." Hear more about this on the latest Pain Beat podcast episode. painresearchforum.org/forums…. @Kevin_Seal @aecrpain @US_ASP @KateSadlerPhD @AnneZMurphy @IASPpain @UTDPainLab @PCPRpgh

Everyone buckle in for what is sure to be a fabulous defense! Join us while we hear the final wrap up of MSTP student @eileenknguyen thesis project! Next Friday (7/9) at 2pm (eastern time) 🥂
In exactly ONE WEEK I will be giving my public, hybrid PhD defense! I'll be presenting on opioid balance in the brainstem and spinal cord for itch and pain. Here is the virtual location: pitt.zoom.us/j/94088671196
I would love to hear your feedback on our work!
New paper from the Koerber and Ross labs 🎊
Are non-peptidergic afferents actually nociceptors? We say no, not unless you are injured. See our new paper with Koerber, @CharlesWarwick7, @tayler_sheahan, @KSmithFive plus others journals.lww.com/pain/Fullte…
The wait is over!New episode of #thepainbeat is here. This time the the guests, lead by Howard Fields, discuss what we have learned from imaging pain in humans 🧠 bit.ly/3oTKIxL
Congratulations @KimMeerschaert what a wonderful dissertation it was! We’re so excited for you but you will be missed!!!
I successfully defended my dissertation last Friday! I'm so grateful for all of the people who helped me along this journey, especially my Twitter-less mentor Dr. Brian Davis. And I'm excited to announce I'll be joining @IsaacMChiu for my postdoc at @Harvard. #PhDone
Come and work in the PCPR!!!! Excellent training environment, fantastic colleagues and an amazing city!!!!
