Being the @iasp.bsky.social “research poster girl” for the last 2 yrs has been fun, I hope trainees got their abstracts in by the deadline! All the great conversations I had by my poster were insightful and helped me finalize the study that ended up published in PAIN the following year!

Many undergraduate students ended up coming by my poster, it really felt like I was speaking to and encouraging my younger self. Winning the poster award was the cherry on top, but really I think success follows when you intentionally value each step in the journey [2/2]

My final poster presentation as a PhD student happened to be in the same location (MedSci building) as my first ever poster presentation in undergrad. I tend to express myself with colour, and so as a nod of gratitude to my younger self I dressed in the same colourscheme [1/2]

The study that I won a poster award for in the “Pain and sensory disorders” category at last year’s UofT CPIN research day was published this month in EJP!! If you have not read it yet here is the link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

It's the best feeling seeing your work presented to others in the field and was a privilege to get to collect neuroimaging and behavioral data from people with chronic pain receiving SCS treatment @karenddavis.bsky.social.
