New report by Endometriosis UK reveals concerning trends in diagnosis and treatment. 39% of respondents visited their GP 10+ times before endometriosis was suspected. How can we improve education and earlier recognition of symptoms? #PainResearch #WomensHealth #IASP #BBC bit.ly/3ORSKs7
BOOM! Fantastic new paper from Patrik Ernfors and his team: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Persistent interferon signaling causes sensory neuron plasticity and pain before and during arthritis

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives
If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!
UCL are looking for UK-based wheelchair-using lab users to test out their design.
Is it easy to take on/off? Comfortable? How're those pockets & fastenings? Any safety concerns? etc.
