I had the privilege of presenting 2 posters this year. The first was a @abct-edeb-sig.bsky.social SIG poster exploring people’s experiences using coaching services for eating disorder recovery. This was my first conference presentation on my Masters thesis project!

The second poster was a study exploring disordered eating anonymous group attendance prior to eating disorder treatment and how attending these groups prior to treatment may relate to clinical presentations at intake to eating disorder treatment.

I had a lovely time at #ABCT2025 presenting my posters, eating amazing food, and frolicking around New Orleans with some of my favorite people! @ashlinnpeters.bsky.social @drmartinwagar.bsky.social @sambedard.bsky.social @julianic.bsky.social @abctnow.bsky.social

Had so much fun at #ABCT25 with my amazing colleagues and some folks from our lab 🫶🏻 @drmartinwagar.bsky.social @taylorepenwell.bsky.social

If you’re at #ABCT2025 come see our clinical round table on Dismantling Anti Fat Bias in Eating Disorder Treatment in Strand 13! @connorelbe.bsky.social @drtiffanyabrown.bsky.social @allyduvall.bsky.social

Excited for my first #ABCT2025 in NOLA. Come see my poster related to diet culture and disordered eating at the Sig expo and welcome cocktail party!

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

🦊 REDS lab will be accepting a grad student for Fall 2026. Folks interested in eating disorders and/or suicide are encouraged to apply! See here for more details: www.redslab.org/join-the-lab

As a queer Tech alumni, I have NO words. Not only did our Hispanic serving status get removed, but now this. This is censorship and the start of removing academic freedom.

We survived orientation 🤩 @umontana.bsky.social’s 2025 clinical psychology PhD cohort is ready for their first year

As a first-gen student and US citizen on one side, queer, & growing up in a low income family with a teen mom who dropped out of high school, there are no words to express this. Clawing up the ladder (while still holding so much privilege) is so hard, but imposter syndrome has nothing on me.

🌟The REPEAT Lab at VCU (PI: Dr. Annie Haynos) in Richmond, VA is hiring a clinical research coordinator! 🌟 We use various methods (fMRI, EMA, computational modeling) to study neurobiological mechanisms and treatment for eating disorders & other disorders of rigidity. Post will be open for 1 week! 🧠📊

After a 1400+ mile drive consisting of a 7 hour uhaul breakdown and a flat truck tire, I have made it to Missoula! Boy this city does not disappoint in beauty and community. So happy to be a Griz :)

Great opportunity for dissertation funding for clinical science PhD students who expected to have funding to complete their dissertations and now don't. Please check it out and share with your networks (and please volunteer to review if you can!).

Heads up! APA is urging anyone who cares about health and science to let their reps/senators know now that they should oppose the admin's murder budget. Easy to do here: www.votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAA... APA is plugged in. If they say NOW, listen! #StandUpForScience

Saving the best for last! Come swing by during the last session of #ICED2025 today where I will be sharing the findings from my thesis project about risk and protective factors for adolescent’s engagement in disordered eating.

Looking forward to learning and catching up with folks at #ICED2025 in San Antonio! 🤠Here is our lab presentation schedule. Thanks for the graphic @taylorepenwell.bsky.social !

Ready for my very first talk today at #ICED2025 ! Please come on by as I share qualitative data related to people’s perceptions on feeling fat.

As of yesterday using publicly available data via Grant Watch grant-watch.us/nih-data.html: 05/24/2025 word cloud depicting 165 unique words or phrases, flagged 10904 times, within 2118 terminated NIH grants. @standupforscience.bsky.social @altnih4science.bsky.social

Are YOU sitting around, reading the headlines, feeling powerless and scared? Wish there was a way to just DO SOMETHING???? Boy, have I got the thing for you! @standupforscience.bsky.social has an ambitious goal of hosting 1000 teach-ins across the nation between now and 9/30 #standupforscience

Excited to give my first (and second) talk of my career at #ICED2025 next week in San Antonio! There are so many great talks this year, it will be hard to decide where to go!

Going to #ICED2025 in San Antonio next week?? Come chat with us & see amazing work from ACCEPT Labbers @mbillmanmiller.bsky.social Kennedi Burton, & Jen Finkelstein! 💙💙💙

I’m excited to attend #ICED2025 next week! This is my first time attending and I’m so excited to see what amazing research the ED field is doing! I’d love to see what other people are presenting next week! Reply below with what your presenting and when so others can add it to their schedule ⬇️

@doctorpipes.bsky.social has a new first author publication out with @ivanzhula.bsky.social and @cherilev.bsky.social, and we're excited to share a a summary! See the #thread 🧵 below... Link to text: authors.elsevier.com/c/1l3KiKt2qD... (1/10)

Mastered it 🖤❤️ Beyond excited and full of emotions to close this chapter at Texas Tech!

A study in @jama.com last week documented that in just over a month 139 training grants were terminated by the NIH

Excited to share this! Thank you so much to Olivia, Dr. Walker, and Dr. Harrop for your support on this one! link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...

As 100 days in office comes up, let’s focus on the next few months: Trump is trying to stop spending at NIH to justify cutting the NIH budget. Every US scientist should be in contact with their Congressional reps about this. Get grants and money out the door soon or the money goes away.

Whole lotta "He Is Risen" from people who voted for a tyrant who ABSOLUTELY would have sent Jesus to a prison in El Salvador without due process. SEND TWEET.

One month until graduation 🖤❤️

To what extent do internalized weight stigma and thin ideal internalization overlap? Our recent paper suggests not too much and that eating disorder prevention programs might want to target both types of internalized bias. doi.org/10.1002/jclp...

One of my good friends is collecting data for her thesis! Please consider participating! unt.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

My sweet undergrad mentees know me so well 😭🥹. It is moments like this that remind me of how lucky and privileged I am to be able to do what I do every day. It reignites the fire through hard times with everything going on in the world and academia.

West Texans can join in this Saturday from 11-2 at Tim Cole Park for a peaceful protest!!! #standupforscience

So proud of my mentee for completing her first poster presentation at our undergraduate research conference 🥹🫶🏻

I wrote an op-ed about my experience as an early career researcher right now… TLDR, it’s pretty rough out there guys Thank you to @sufsnewmexico.bsky.social for inspiring the piece and to ABQ Journal for publishing

I don't think we talk enough about how difficult it is when your career consists of constantly battling against diet culture and trying to make people understand that what they've been told their whole life is wrong/stigmatizing/harmful. Esp when you're in a larger body. Shit is exhausting.

🚨 Attention NIH & NSF grantees! AAAS is hosting a rapid response webinar this Friday, 12-1 pm ET, on responding to federal research grant terminations. NIH and NSF will be case examples. Register here: aaas.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

From a Red Raider to a Grizzly! I am beyond excited to be joining the Laboratory for Eating Disorders and Equity with @drmartinwagar.bsky.social and the incredible team at the University of Montana (@umontana.bsky.social) this fall as I begin my PhD in Clinical Psychology! 🐻🫶🏻

Major update over the weekend to our spreadsheet tracking terminated NIH grants. 👇 Improvements include: - more grant metadata, including Congressional reps and their phone numbers - data from more sources to complement PI-submitted information - better data integrity and reproducibility 1/

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up. If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes. Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

WHY DO YOU STAND UP FOR SCIENCE? ☀️ Tell us how science has impacted your life. We’ll share stories with your representatives, from local reps to Capitol Hill—and on our website, so you can use them to advocate too. ➡ forms.gle/fHekXH8vAmRu...

1/x My NIH grant that would collect data to help *prevent suicidal thoughts and behaviors* among LGBTQ+ people was terminated today, along with many other LGBTQ+ focused grants. These terminations make no sense scientifically. Here's why:

Feel free to DM me if you would like to speak with press about being in any of these three areas. The press is beating down our door to connect with impacted scientists and patients! #standupforscience #scienceforall
