Don't worry your head(ache) about it: Durham's group is on the job

Missouri State University

Dr. Paul Durham, a Distinguished Professor of Biology at MSU, has been studying headaches for many years.  Becoming interested while still a postdoc, he brought that passion with him to MSU and has sought to better understand both the mechanisms and treatments that might mitigate their effects, especially for migraines.  He stops by Stemspots today to chat about his background and the work currently being done in his lab to find novel ways to alleviate pain.

Dr. David Cornelison has been working as an educator and scientist in Arizona and Missouri universities for the last 32 years. From 2010-2018, he was the head of the Department of Physics, Astronomy and Materials Science at Missouri State University. His research interests lie at the intersection of experimental condensed-matter physics and astrophysics, while his educational efforts have focused on outreach to the K-12 school system. Most of all, he believes in curiosity-driven learning in the sciences and all other fields.
