Our new preprint presents a #deeplearning model by @pmouseli.bsky.social that predicts evoked muscle pain. Coolest finding: the model performs better when trained on controls, rather than in the chronic pain cohort. This has genuine consequences for biomarker development. tinyurl.com/42tmbjj3

📣 Check out the latest paper from our lab out now in @pnas.org 📣 We show that nociceptive sensitization can occur in the absence of pain stimulation. We use the thermal grill illusion, and show that nonresponders show greater central sensitization (secondary hyperalgesia) than responders.

Learning that Canada is spending $2.6B on 12 rocket launchers. Worth noting that this exceeds Canada’s Health Research budget ($1.4B) in 25/26 (which is largely stagnant). 12 rocket launchers get almost double than life changing research. 🤯

Screenshot form the Toronto Star that says:

“That doesn't mean the door is closed on procuring military hardware from the U.S., he added, noting recent decisions to buy more than a dozen HIMARS artillery systems from U.S. company Lockheed Martin for $2.6 billion, and up to 16 P-8 Poseidon "multi-mission" planes from American firm Boeing for more than $5 billion.”

Not all pain is created equal: stepping on a nail feels different from a stomachache. We know there are many nociceptor types, but a key question remains: how is mechanical pain encoded across the body by those sensory neurons? Our new work helps answer this. 1/8 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Noxious mechanical stimuli give rise to distinct percepts, from sharp cutaneous pain to diffuse visceral discomfort, yet the nociceptor ensembles that underlie these differences remain poorly defined....

The issue is that academic institutions globally have become investment engines and basically corporations, rather than beacons of education and moral compasses that we pretend they are. Ultimately, run a university like a company, and it will do what's best for shareholders, not society.
