Pausing my social media break to share that I got tenure @ NIH! So grateful to everyone that helped me get here. Former/current lab (especially @tdw1373), mentors (especially @robgereau), collaborators, pain research community, letter writers, friends, family, and my amazing son.

"I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired". Heard this at the African American history museum today. Sad that this resonated so loudly w me 60y later. Hoping we can do better for the next generation of scientists.

Congrats and thanks to all authors and HUGE shout out to co-first authors Jeitzel Torres-Rodriguez and @tdw1373. Jeitzel was a postbac in my lab and this is her first publication! Great job everyone! I'm proud of you all.
New publication from our lab on the PBN-CeA pathway. Previos studies showed that this pathway does not contribute to somatosensation. We show that this circuit IS critical for somatosenzation but only in pathological pain states.
