One of the steepest learning curves in starting a faculty role is building a research teamβ€”but it’s also the most rewarding. Mentoring brilliant future scientists and being part of a collaborative team is what I love most about this work πŸŽ‚β­οΈ

Yesterday’s lab meeting was a creative workshop to co-design the Lived Experience section of our ENTRUST programme website.

We’re excited that this space will reflect our commitment to embedding cancer survivors’ lived experiences into every part of our research

So proud of my former postdoc-bestie, now collaborator Dr Inge Timmers @tilburguniversity.bsky.social! Inge shared our brand new data today at #EFIC2025πŸ‡«πŸ‡· showing that inducing a stress-is-enhancing #mindset modulates stress-induced changes in pain tolerance. A beautiful pre-registered experiment πŸ‘
