In April 2024, I attended the conference for the United States Association for the Study of Pain (USASP) in Seattle, Washington. This episode is the first in a series of interviews I conducted there, and features research on the role of skin cells in sickle cell and nerve pain, as well as risk and resilience factors that could contribute to prescription opioid misuse.
