Extremely proud to share that this Monday, April 14th, I successfully defended my PhD dissertation, earning the distinction cum laude. Thank you to my supervisors @IntiBrazil and Joukje Oosterman, my paranymphs, and everyone who made this day even more extraordinary and fun!


Curious to see if pain sensitivity relates to personality? We were too: check out our meta-analysis on Big Five traits and experimental pain, hot off the press in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @IntiBrazil @DondersInst
