The ESA #Gaia mission has delivered the best Milky Way maps to date and taken its last starlight before spacecraft retirement 🔭

A model image of what our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might look like face-on: as viewed from above the disc of the galaxy, with its spiral arms and bulge in full view. In the centre of the galaxy, the bulge shines as a hazy oval, emitting a faint golden gleam. Starting at the central bulge, several glistening spiral arms coil outwards, creating a perfectly circle-shaped spiral. They give the impression of someone having sprinkled pastel purple glitter on the pitch-black background, in the shape of sparkling, curled-up snakes. A model image of what our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might look like edge-on, against a pitch-black backdrop. The Milky Way’s disc appears in the centre of the image, as a thin, dark-brown line spanning from left to right, with the hint of a wave in it. The line appears to be etched into a thin glowing layer of silver sand, that makes it look as if it was drawn with a coloured pencil on coarse paper. The bulge of the galaxy sits like a glowing, see-through pearl in the shape of a sphere in the centre of this brown line

"To really understand what pain IS, we will need to better understand what consciousness IS, and how it is represented in the brain" - fantastic reading by Marshall Devor on Pat Wall's legacy in #PAIN journal.

"The invisibility and subjectivity of pain in a biomedical culture that privileges visibility and objectivity has led many people with pain to experience stigma in the form of epistemic injustice"

informative review on the stigma of chronic pain

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Abstract Accumulating evidence suggests that stigma is a pervasive and pernicious psychosocial phenomenon that affects people living with chronic pain. In this narrative review, we describe the nature of stigma experienced by people with chronic pain and discuss its multifaceted determinants. These determinants include features of pain itself and intersectional factors, including comorbid conditions and social marginalization. We review the current state of the evidence on the association between stigma and chronic pain-related functioning, highlighting avenues for future research. Building on evidence from other health conditions, we identify multifaceted approaches to intervention that address all levels of the socio-ecological system which contribute to stigma and its negative impacts on people with pain.
