One of my favorite college professors at my Alma mater @CentreC asked me to guest lecture for one of her seminars and she assigned one of my research articles for discussion 😭 What a full circle moment, small liberal arts schools will always have a special place in my heart ❤️

Heads up, NSFGRFP solicitation is finally posted. https://t.co/3VXkMnxN5q Deadline now extended to mid-November. Many disappointed second year graduate students who had nearly finished writing proposals and just learned they are ineligible.

Research from Scott Griffiths at #EDRS showing that more toxic ED content is delivered to people with #eatingdisorders. TikTok prioritizes time spent watching videos over actions like liking videos - so folks w/ EDs get more toxic content even if they aren’t interacting directly

You can tell I am in grant writing mode because tell me why I used the term "procedural exactness" in a casual text with a friend (in my defense she is a ceramics artist and I will argue it is an important skill in her field!!)

Also in the spirit of normalizing rejection - I also had several symposia rejected! Seems like a touch year for ABCT submissions with the new individual paper presentation category, so congrats to everyone who was accepted!

#ICED2025 was one for the books! I was so excited that we had a full house for our panel on weight stigma, “feeling fat” across the size spectrum, and eating disorders. A great chance to connect/reconnect with scientists and practitioners that care about eating disorder advocacy!

We also found that individuals with worse interoception reported increased urges to binge eat as well as restrict. Overall, we found evidence that weight neutral approaches would be helpful in disordered eating treatment settings and interoception is a promising treatment target

My dissertation study is now out *open access* at Appetite! We found that individuals with binge eating symptoms randomly assigned to be exposed to weight stigma engaged in *less* caloric consumption - many implications for social identity threat! https://t.co/37mAH3Utna
