What a great session we had with Fibromyalgia Friends Together today and what an amazing group of people. We are so grateful for their time and incredible patience, as well as for their extra fingers, of course.

Had a great session with Help for Heroes this week, discussing how to implement our pain management workshop. What an awesome group!

We would really appreciate your response to our survey! It takes 10mins on average and can be completed by most adults in the UK. 😁

A big thank you to Dan Parsons for taking the time to thank us and Slowcat in person for our efforts making a difference for people at Cheltenham Science Festival 2023. I apologise for the poor photo of the MindBending team; I was distracted by mini eclairs. @lboroimpact

Nice report on our Cheltenham talk here by our Teesside collaborators.Evaluation by Jaj shows changes in pain beliefs from ‘horrible’ to ‘hope’ and ‘manageable’. Talk rated as ‘excellent’ and led to further engagement with our Discover Zone exhibit.

End of another day at #CheltSciFest. Today was a good day for training children, teachers and parents how to use our research at home. Only three days to go. How do you think the team is looking?

Oscar has just invented another new illusion. That’s 4 today during masses Anne Boleyn illusions. This kind of research boost wouldn’t happen without public engagement events like this.
