And now, let’s talk about nocioception.
Sci would like to note that she is without internet for the next few days for various reasons. Thus, there is a repost. Play nice on the internet everyone, or I’ll send the Evil Monkey after you. He bites. 🙂 Over my years as a grad student, I’ve been a guinea pig for more than […]

Special shout-out to Drugmonkey, who wrote the sweetest thing which made Sci blush very red. She hopes it’s true. And now: NEW BLOGS. We have […]
