Editor’s note: At the 2018 World Congress on Pain, the biennial meeting of the International Association for the Study of Pain, researchers from around the world gathered to discuss the latest pain research. In this Pain 101 podcast, which was recorded at the World Congress, Alexander Tuttle, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, US, interviews Jeffrey Mogil, the E. P. Taylor Professor of Pain Studies and the Canada Research Chair in the Genetics of Pain at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Mogil discusses how he came to study sex differences in pain, why those differences matter, and why he now considers himself more as a “meta-scientist” rather than as a pain researcher.
