If you prefer visual media, you can hear about our new study on maturity fears across cohorts and decades with @keel-lab-fsu.bsky.social on @dtcooper.bsky.social here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzXd...

Are Millennials more afraid of growing up than prior cohorts? Find out here!

Excited to share this invited commentary from @aprilrosesmith.bsky.social on a new meta-analysis examining interoception and self-harm!

Millennials feared adulthood more than earlier cohorts...but it turns out everyone gets less afraid of growing up over time. Check out our new work with @keel-lab-fsu.bsky.social that tracks maturity fears across 3 cohorts: www.usnews.com/news/health-...

Congrats to @drtiffanyabrown.bsky.social and @aprilrosesmith.bsky.social on becoming Fellows in the Academy of Eating Disorders!

Getting to catch up with current and former REDS labers in The Hague at #ICED2026 was the best part of the conference!

So wonderful to see the amazing work our REDS labers @carterjillian.bsky.social @oclancy.bsky.social @laurenpictor.bsky.social @mbillmanmiller.bsky.social presented at #ICED2026!

We adapted our interoception intervention for eating disorders and found that it was associated with decreases in interoceptive deficits within an intensive ED sample. Check it out!

Thrilled to have presented a poster this afternoon at #ICED2026 in The Netherlands … my first ICED has been a blast! Grateful for the best mentor and labmates! 💙🧡 @aprilrosesmith.bsky.social @redslabauburn.bsky.social

Let's us know if you'll be at #ICED2026; we'd love to see you!

@carterjillian.bsky.social just rocked out her thesis proposal! Can't wait to see what she finds!

We were honored to get to present our work with collaborators at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research West.

Dr. Smith got to visit our lab mascot at the Woodlands Zoo in Seattle!

HUGE congratulations to @oclancy.bsky.social on being recognized as an Outstanding Doctoral Student at Auburn!

Congrats to @carterjillian.bsky.social on successfully proposing her thesis!

Really enjoyed talking about The Great Starvation Experiment as part of our lab group's semesterly Book Club. And big thanks to Kate and @carterjillian.bsky.social for the delicious treats!!

New paper from @mbillmanmiller.bsky.social finds in TGE adults, eating disorder symptoms relate to suicidal ideation through perceived social exclusion specifically (vs belongingness or burdensomeness). Check it out! dx.doi.org/10.1111/sltb...

WAY TO GO @oclancy.bsky.social !!!!

I could not be more proud of my supervisees, Rachel and Kristin, for penning this incredible op-ed piece about increasing Auburn University's funding of the Auburn Eating Disorders Clinic: aub.ie/oyfdWL. Give it a read, it is 🔥🔥🔥

REDS laber @carterjillian.bsky.social presented her work at SEPA in NOLA this past week!

When employees experience weight discrimination, it doesn’t just affect outcomes, it also affects whether they feel heard and taken seriously. New research from AU highlights emotion invalidation as a key mechanism linking stigma to workplace harm. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Me at 8. Years later, my dream of opening an eating disorders clinic came true. At the AEDC, we are expanding access to care & training the next generation of therapists. We have 1 MORE DAY to reach our fundraising goal. If you’re able to support/share, it truly makes a difference: aub.ie/26TGDAEDC

The Auburn Eating Disorders Clinic provides low-cost, evidence-based care while training future clinical psychologists. Demand remains high, with a 3+ month waitlist. Support expands access to care & training the next generation: aub.ie/26TGDAEDC

We’re excited to see this feature on our low-cost eating disorders clinic. The creation of this clinic reflects our commitment to increasing access to care for students and the broader community. Take a look: www.theplainsman.com/article/2026... More soon with Giving Day on March 25.

We are getting excited for #SRS2026! Come check us out!

In case you didn't know, I have the best lab ever. Here they are surprising me with cake pops. I'm so thankful to get to work with them every day, including my birthday. Thank you, REDS lab!

First Body Advocacy Movement (BAM) group of the semester was a great success thanks to @laurenpictor.bsky.social's leadership!

HUGE congrats to @laurenharris.bsky.social on submitting her K23, "Glycemic variability and interoceptive attention as proximal predictors of eating disorder symptoms in Anorexia Nervosa and Atypical Anorexia"!!!

Wow. No evidence of improved outcomes for the treatment of bulimia or binge eating disorder over the past FOUR decades. We must do better. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

In better news: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u... Although I wish this had happened sooner, I'm beyond grateful the protection is finally there.

If risk is similar across ‘typical’ and ‘atypical’ anorexia, then language matters. Time to shift away from labels that imply lesser severity. Congrats @laurenharris.bsky.social on this impactful paper! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to have the military adaptation of our interoception intervention featured in the latest APA Monitor. Check it out here (scroll to the bottom :): www.apa.org/monitor/2025...

Looks like we're going to The Hague! Congrats to REDS Labers on their acceptances for #ICED2026! @laurenharris.bsky.social @laurenpictor.bsky.social @carterjillian.bsky.social @oclancy.bsky.social

PTSD disproportionately affects service members. In an RCT, RISE—an interoception-based training—reduced PTSD symptoms indirectly by increasing acceptance of uncomfortable internal sensations.

Way to go, all!

Way to go @laurenpictor.bsky.social !

Yay for open science! Check out our recently published protocol paper for REDS Lab and @uofleatlab.bsky.social's R01, which is investigating predictors of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors in anorexia spectrum disorders.

Check out our new article on ARFID that was specifically written for kids!

Congratulations to @taylorbstanley.bsky.social on publishing her dissertation! This study identified four distinct user profiles based on use patterns and how cannabis affects appetite/food reward.

So great to have these awesome virtual visitors from @uofleatlab.bsky.social, Dr. Rachel Torres and @kefancathywu.bsky.social, and hear awesome #abct2025 practice talks from @cmcurran410.bsky.social and @rachelfrietchen.bsky.social

What's the secret to success in academia? 10% good ideas + 90% perseverance through all the rejections!

We are so excited to be presenting at #ABCT2025. We hope to see you there!

Congratulations to @oclancy.bsky.social for successfully proposing her dissertation! We can't wait to see the results!

We are so grateful to our participants for helping us with this important work!

AU's Clinical PhD application deadline is approaching (12/1/25)! 🦊 REDS lab plans to accept 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

Hot off the presses! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Just a few more days to get your application in!

New publication from @RezaSahlan: In a national Iranian sample, we found that binge/purge eating symptoms + feeling disconnected or burdensome + high suicide capability = highest risk for suicide attempts. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #SuicidePrevention #EatingDisorders #MentalHealth
