Columbia veterans urge caution with New Year’s fireworks celebrations
Bright bursts will light the New Year sky on Wednesday night, but for thousands of local veterans, the celebrations could trigger painful combat memories.

Students travel long distances, some up to 50 miles, to learn and serve in rural and underserved communities. 🚗 COSW's Gas 2 Go campaign helps cover those travel costs so they can focus on their field placements and not their fuel tank. ⛽Every mile matters. More here: bit.ly/45Kkchq #socialwork

🔥 Most important paper I've read all year🔥 👉 Injury/disease doesn't reliably predict pain 👉 Biomarkers alone can't explain pain 👉 PSYCHOSOCIAL factors reliably determine chronic pain 👉 Painful conditions can be predicted from the SYNERGY btwn bio + psychosocial factors www.nature.com/articles/s41...
nature.com
Biological markers and psychosocial factors predict chronic pain conditions - Nature Human Behaviour
Fillingim et al. show that biological and psychosocial factors jointly predict conditions associated with chronic pain.
