Editor’s note: Welcome to the 12th episode of The Pain Beat. Launched and supported by a generous grant from the MAYDAY Fund, with additional funding from the Rita Allen Foundation, The Pain Beat brings together the world's leading pain investigators with the purpose of sparking dialogue and debate around important ideas in pain research. Guided by Rebecca Seal, scientific director of The Pain Beat, the podcasts feature open and spirited discussions about the hottest topics in pain and how the field moves forward.
The 12th episode of The Pain Beat is dedicated to Stephen McMahon, PhD FMedSci (1954-2021).

Our podcast guests pay homage to “Mac” with stories that illustrate his influence on the pain research field, and those in it. He will be remembered not only for his seminal contributions to our understanding of pain, but also for his generous and enthusiastic personal spirit which has left an indelible mark.
