What did they find? πŸ€”

In 650 Anesthesiologists, self-reported knowledge of placebo effects was moderate, & lower for nocebo effects!

πŸ“ƒ New work from A04! πŸ“ƒ

This study found that visceral pain is more sensitive to negative expectations and nocebo effects than somatic pain. Bad experiences with somatic pain treatments can worsen visceral pain through a "cross-over" effect. 🀯

After the coffee break, our emerging PIs help debunk some academic myths! 🧐

Examples: "A researcher is a person with above average dedication to their job." or "Teaching is worth less than research."

What do you think? Truth or myth? πŸ€”
