Academia isn’t sexist at all- a satirical story in bad stock photos.

@LindaNguyenMD @arghavan_salles @JessicaCalarco @DrDonnica @DrSherryPagoto @jenheemstra @BMoshiree @JohannahRuddy @choo_ek @lipiroy @evolutionarypsy Really nothing to see here. These are representative of those who teach.

Very proud of this study implicating the role of mitochondrial DNA in Fibromyalgia. Let me explain what we found and what it may mean. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32658146/ First some background. Chronic pain runs in families. Studying genetics so far has not yielded strong evidence of a pain gene. We hypothesized that chronic pain may not be driven by nuclear genes but mitochondrial genes. (Yes you have two sets of genes in your body)
