Episode 1: Your brain on chronic painRich Fiallos injured his back while working construction in Brooklyn and required surgery to relieve the pain. He feared the pain might never end, so we invited him to have a laidback and friendly discussion with pain neuroscientists-- Dr. Marina Lopez-Sola and Dr. Marianne Reddan. Zach Benevento joins us for comic relief.
This recording is a pilot for future series where we will put people in NYC (like you!), who have real life experience with active topics of research, in conversation with the scientists who do the research. Through these types of exchanges we hope that both the public and the academics gain new insights into their experiences and work. Rich recovered! He quit construction and is now a bus driver with the MTA. Though he sits for long periods a day, he no longer has life disrupting pain. |
