@ndaviu @OntVetCollege Excellent news Nuria! 👏 So happy for you and I know you will thrive!

North America's first supervised consumption site in Vancouver will be celebrating its 20th anniversary this September and yours truly will be the MC of this incredible event!

I signed up in 2003. I used the facility over 4000 times, being brought back to life there multiple times.
I went through their detox facility dozens of times and made friendships with staff that I still hold today!
The importance of the facility can't be denied. I wouldn't be alive today without harm reduction and I wouldn't have the life I have today without my recovery which @InsiteVan was vital in helping me achieve. So grateful!! More details to follow soon.

2/2 3) positive attitude - each project is unique, with new challenges and milestones. Stay curious and objectively problem solve.

Grateful to all my supporters who helped me grow! 🙌❤️

DM if you are interested in CRO jobs!

1/2 🧵 Celebrated my 1 year last week. What I tailored from #academia to #clinicaltrials at a CRO: 1) organization - prioritize, balancing between detail and 'good enough' for on-time project deliveries; 2) communications - set expectations, document and talk to the whole team;

Come and join our group in Sydney to work on how endogenous opioids participate in amygdala based learning, addiction and pain and how we could target these processes for new treatments. We have two post-doc positions available in physiology and behaviour.

Dear patch clampers of twitter, any suggestions on where I can buy borosilicate capillaries 1.5x0.86 100mm with filament??
I've been away on leave and I come back to find our usual supplier has discontinued them! It's fine though, probably isn't an important variable... 😬

Nagging or nitpicking is a form of control that we use in relationships when we feel helpless or anxious.

Here's why:

An automated pain facial expression detection algorithm vs. human nurses, both trying to predict patients' self-reported pain.

The algorithm wins!

Cannot recommend Dr. Hathway's lab at UoN enough. The work will directly address the unmet clinical need of managing cancer pain in children. Reach out if this excites you!

[Prof Gareth Hathway @GarethHathway]

Funding news! I’m really pleased to lead a team that have been awarded a grant by @MedResFdn to study how tumour derived extracellular vesicles alter pain processing in childhood cancer patients and survivors….WE WILL BE HIRING!
