Postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Neuroplasticity and Pain #CNAP at Aalborg University #AAU - from athlete to scientist, interested in the #brain in #pain, passionate about #neuroscience and #painresearch.
Still amazed - my friend‘s gift for my PhD defense on the cover of @painthejournal.bsky.social by @iasp.bsky.social. 🥹

It’s on the July issue where part of my PhD work is published. 📄

What a way to connect two parts of life that I love - my friendships and science. 💛

In October 2025, I’ll be starting my own 2-year project at CNAP focusing on:

🧠💥 Medial prefrontal cortex excitability in chronic pain

supported by the @snf-fns.ch Postdoc.Mobility Fellowship.

This one means so much to me. 🥹

My PhD "baby" - out now online ahead of print in @painthejournal.bsky.social. 🌟

We poured in so much thought, work, sweat, tears, diligence, thoroughness, and passion.

Grateful for the fantastic team and journey behind it. 🙏

Last week, we celebrated an incredible group of people and the impressive work they have achieved over the past 10 years.

Happy and proud to be part of this amazing CNAP family.💛🩶

Although… judging by the group photo, I might only be half part of it.😅 Can you spot me?😉🔍
