Grow Your Network, Share Ideas, and Build Connections in Pain Research
Every great collaboration starts with a conversation.
PURPOSE Pairings is back and it’s growing. This 1-to-1 networking feature helps members of the pain research community connect for short, meaningful conversations; spark new ideas, find collaborators, or simply make a new connection.
You don’t have to solve everything solo: connecting with someone whose strengths complement yours can unlock breakthroughs.
How it works:
1️⃣ Answer a few quick questions about your interests, experiences, and schedule.
2️⃣ Get matched with another member who shares your focus or curiosity.
3️⃣ Meet for a 30-minute chat — online or in person — to share perspectives, advice, and opportunities.
You don’t have to prepare a presentation or have a specific goal in mind. Just bring your curiosity and an open mind. Many of our past participants have found new collaborators, co-authors, and friends through these conversations.
This was a fantastic pair-up. We enjoyed getting to know each other and talked both science and professional lives. We are in the same career stage, which helped us connect on starting labs, grant applications, etc.
✨ Sign up today and see where one connection can take you.
