This paper is from my departmental colleague, @arbhatta.bsky.social utilizing rodent and human nerves/DRGs. Interesting new strategies to target ion channels 😀

Made some slides for scientists to talk about what's been happening & what we should do next. There are probably many people better qualified than me to talk about these issues. If that's you, please, please, please consider holding some virtual advocacy training sessions for researchers this week.
