Editor's note: During the International Symposium on Pediatric Pain 2023 (ISPP), five pain researchers participated in the PRF-ISPP 2023 Correspondents Program – made possible by generous contributions from Solutions for Kids in Pain (SKIP) and the Centre for Pediatric Pain Research (CPPR). As we prepare for ISPP 2025 – taking place 17-20 June 2025 in Glasgow, UK – we're taking a look back at some highlights of ISPP 2023, and some of the people who made them possible.

In this episode of the IASP-PRF Podcast, PRF Correspondent Adewale Fadaka spoke with Elliot J. Krane – a prolific pain researcher and co-founder of one of the first pain centers for children in North America. During their wide-ranging conversation, Krane discussed his background in pain research, how he felt to receive the Distinguished Career Award at ISPP 2023, and shared some advice for early-career researchers.

Podcast participants include:

• Elliot J. Krane, PhD, Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford, CA, USA
• Adewale Fadaka, PhD, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Cincinnati, OH, USA
