Dr. Rachel Louise Cundiff-O'Sullivan (she/her)

Thankful for all those that were able to come yesterday and ready for the next chapter. Also excited to announce that I will be working as a #postdoc in the lab of @NahmanAverbuch using neuroimaging to study pediatric pain! Super happy to be joining the @WUSTLmed community! 😁

*ladies plus our amazing intern Eric!

Wow, not sure how I missed this post. What a wonderful lab...excited on my new path but definitely missing these amazing ladies!!

Well, it's official! I passed my thesis defense this afternoon! I am Dr. Cundiff-O'Sullivan!!! Thank you to EVERYONE who was so supportive and encouraging along the way. It still hasn't quite hit me yet...😍🙈💪🏻 #phdchat #phdream #phd #phdlife #doctor #thesisdefended

Check out my paper!! 😁

BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Sharon Thomas, DNP ♥️🩺🥼🥰🎉🍻 The @Colloca_Lab will miss you so much!! You've got an amazing future ahead of you - your #resiliency is inspiring 😉 #placebo #resilient #pain #chronicpain #phd #phdream #nurse #nursing #dnp #umb

Super excited to share my very 1st #firstauthor paper!! 🥰 We aimed to see whether #pain #catastrophizing really is a driving force in #orofacialpain outcomes (spoiler alert: it's not). It's open access - have a look! 👇🏻 #phd #phdlife #AcademicTwitter #phdream #research #science

That's a wrap! Thank you to @SIPSplacebo for a great conference and a chance to explore a new city 😁 hopefully see you in 2025 in #Krakow!! #SIPSplacebo2025 #placebo #placeboeffect #SIPSplacebo2023 #science #phd #phdream #research #clinicalresearch

Short but sweet...if you missed her #datablitz on #virtualreality #VR #pain #engagement #chronicpain, reach out to Roni Shafir @Colloca_Lab! 😁 #SIPSplacebo2023 #placebo #postdoc

STARTING NOW!!! Roni Shafir on #VR #pain #mood #attention #placebo #psychology @SIPSplacebo

Loved this talk from @AliaCrum on "placebic" effects...makes me wonder how #Culture influences not only the understanding of #health #illness & the body but the ability to modulate #Mindset in response to #disease, particularly #religion 🤔 #SIPSplacebo2023 #placebo #psychology

Very interesting take from @JeremyHowick on #placebo and so-called "no treatment" groups in #clinicaltrials - looking forward to the book! @SIPSplacebo #SIPSplacebo2023 #placeboeffects #empathy #clinicalresearch #health #medicine

Had tons of fun presenting my work on #placebo #pain #neuroimaging @SIPSplacebo #sips2023 ! Lots of great conversation about my research and my next steps. Thanks to @roxyloui for catching me in action! 🙌🏾 #phdchat #AcademicTwitter @BlackInNeuro

Sick of the @Colloca_Lab yet? Too bad!! We've got one more presentation on this last day of @SIPSplacebo #sips2023 - Don't miss our #postdoc, Roni Shafir, present in the #datablitz on #virtualreality to treat #pain! #VR #chronicpain #placebo #clinicalresearch #mood #attention

Come check out the last poster from @Colloca_Lab today @SIPSplacebo from the ever lovely @jewelnuru on structural #MRI, #chronicpain & #placeboeffects (#103)!! #sips2023 #placebo #brain #neuroscience #pain #phd #science #research #clinicalresearch #phdream #neuro

Very interesting talk from Seo Young Lee today @SIPSplacebo on #personality and #placebo - interested in seeing more about church-goers (and thanks for the shout-out about my poster yesterday on #religion #spirituality #atheism #placeboeffects & #expectations 😁) #sips2023

What a fulfilling poster session. Loved chatting with everyone who stopped by my poster! If you missed it and want to learn more about #religion #spirituality #atheism #placebo & #expectation, feel free to DM or email me! #SIPSplacebo2023 #clinicalresearch #science #phd

Love that she concluded with actionable items #clinicians #physicians #healthcareproviders #HCP #clinicalresearchers & others can use to help improve #clinicaltrials which will lead to benefits for #patients #SIPSplacebo2023 #research #clinicalresearch #placebo #placeboeffects

Starting now @SIPSplacebo!! Listen to @Colloca_Luana discussing individual differences in #placebo #responsivity & #clinicaltrials! She always gives a fascinating talk (not biased at all) 😁 #SIPSplacebo2023 #thatsmymentor #clinicalresearch #placeboeffects #science #medicine

Another poster later today (#21) from the postdoc in our lab, Roni Shafir, on #placebo, #expectation, & #emotion regulation. Check out all the cool stuff happening in @Colloca_Lab at posters #21 & #50!! @SIPSplacebo #SIPSplacebo2023 #research #science #clinicalresearch
