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!!).

#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!
