Acknowledgment

Many thanks to Anne Hunt, James Watson, Vincent Rajan, Samras Johnson, and Avinash Singh, my editors at Wiley. I appreciate their consistent encouragement and sage advice in preparing this manuscript. The work came together with a breathtaking team effort – my vision of communicating the wonders of pain clinical science, so many years in the making, has now arrived. Thank you.

I would like to acknowledge some of my many great teachers in pain: Jim Campbell, the late John W. (Jack) Griffin, Jennifer Haythornthwaite, Lewis Levy, Steven Waxman, George Richerson, Alan Pestronk, David Cornblath, Vinay Chaudhry, Ahmet Hoke, Andrea Corse, Stuart Goldman, Steve McMahon (Mac), Dan Carr, and Mac Gallagher have taught me so much about pain and nociceptive processing. Paul Hoffman, Dick Meyer, and Tom Brushart were among my exemplars of critical scientific reasoning. Judy Watt‐Watson, Pat Thomas, Margaret Lloyd, Nancy Hueppchen, Andy Levy, Kyle Davis, Beth Nenortas, Christina Spellman, and Rachel Salas are among my great educational role models. I am deeply grateful to David Yarnitsky, Merav Shor, Antje Barreveld, Michelle Taylor, and Bernie Siaton for professional collaborations and sincere friendship. I have been fortunate to have many wonderful students, but some have brought exceptional effort and talent including Aakash Agarwal, Lina Mezei, Joe Nugent, Alexis Steinberg, Zelda Ghersin, and Kolade Fapohunda. Mr. Tim Foley is an extraordinary and talented administrator, and I am most appreciative of Ms. Tina Moore's heartfelt and able administrative support of my academic career. Les Katzel has supported my advanced career development with grace and wit, and John Sorkin has championed my passion for statistics and applied mathematics in the service of clinical medicine. Justin McArthur has always offered encouragement and fostered my passion for neurology and pain. Shelley List, my dear friend, has served unswervingly as a personal ad hoc editor, consultant, and trusted advisor. My father Donald Hogans was an extraordinarily devoted champion; given his 2‐meter stature, from birth, I actually “stood on the shoulders” of a giant. He cheered my efforts to write cogently about pain and to step up to any reasonable opportunity to improve the world. And my children, who have genuinely been my light and joy – so determined, so clever, and so unfailingly kind.

To apportion our days?

But tell us how,

and we shall come to the heart of wisdom.
