Prepping for teaching CBT this summer pool side 😎

Getting excited about #ICED2026! Will you be there? Let us know!

Got to visit the red pandas at the Seattle zoo and picked up the best shirt ever.

So wonderful to finally meet my WRAIR-W collaborators in person after 4+ years of working together on our interoceptive awareness intervention for military service members. Truly honored to receive this challenge coin.

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

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

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...

Incredible data blitz presentation at #srs26 from @cmcurran410.bsky.social !

@carterjillian.bsky.social rocked out her Data Blitz presentation at #srs26!

Looking forward to these and other great #srs26 talks!

What a great start to #SRS2026! Loved the Data Blitz talks, especially @kefancathywu.bsky.social's!

So thrilled for @oclancy.bsky.social, who was just awarded the Auburn University Outstanding Doctoral Student award! Congratulations on this well deserved recognition, Liv!

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 🔥🔥🔥

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

Dear Friends & Colleagues, reaching out about a cause close to my heart. I co-direct a nonprofit clinic providing affordable eating disorder care across AL. We’re fundraising through 3/25 to sustain care & expand scholarships. If you’re able to give or share, I’d be so grateful: aub.ie/26TGDAEDC

Super interesting design and findings, though I suppose not that surprising! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Access to eating disorder care shouldn’t depend on ability to pay. We opened a low-cost clinic at Auburn to help close that gap. I'm grateful for this feature highlighting the work: www.theplainsman.com/article/2026... More to come with Giving Day on March 25.

Research builds in the best ways. I presented our RISE interoception intervention 2+ years ago in CO, and Liz Atwood immediately saw the potential for youth. She ran with the idea & led this project adapting RISE for school-based health centers. Now the paper is out! psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d...

These days finding a single reviewer feels like finding a unicorn, so I can only imagine what it must feel like to find three for a paper...But seriously, I am starting to feel at a loss for getting folks to review. Any suggestions?

Congrats to @ryleelusich.bsky.social on this paper! Among individuals who exercise for weight/shape reasons, noticing bodily discomfort emerged as a key bridge to body dissatisfaction and desire to lose weight. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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!

Congratulations to @rachelfrietchen.bsky.social and @mbillmanmiller.bsky.social on successfully passing their General Doctoral Exams!!

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"!!!

Me at 7:59 ahead of 8:00am summer camp registration for my kids

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.

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/...

Our lab group is discussing the role of AI in writing and research tomorrow, with the hope of creating lab specific guidance. If any folks have already created something like this already and would be willing to share, we'd love to see what you've come up with!

And it just keeps getting worse: www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

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

In an RCT of active-duty SMs and veterans, RISE (our interoception intervention) improved acceptance of internal sensations, which mediated reductions in PTSD severity at follow-up. Findings highlight interoceptive acceptance as a transdiagnostic mechanism. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Congratulations to @cmcurran410.bsky.social , @carterjillian.bsky.social , and @kefancathywu.bsky.social, who all had data blitz talks accepted at #SRS2026! Can't wait to see them present on these cool projects!

Congratulations Master @laurenpictor.bsky.social ! You totally rocked out your thesis defense!

Loved getting to work on this review with my first 3 grad students (who are now doing amazing things), led by Dorian Dodd w/ @laurenforrest.bsky.social & @lisavelkoff.bsky.social: Managing suicidality and nonsuicidal self-injury in eating disorder treatment. doi.org/0.1016/j.psc...

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.

We had so much fun writing this article on ARFID for kids! kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

Loved getting to catch up with @ryleelusich.bsky.social at #abct2025 and hear more about this cool work!

Huge thanks to @lisavelkoff.bsky.social for organizing this incredible panel at #abct2025. I learned so much from our amazing panelists!

So thankful to get to work (and dine) with these awesome folks!

Congratulations to @kefancathywu.bsky.social for receiving the student poster award for the self-injury SIG at #abct2025!

Way to go @taylorbstanley.bsky.social! I think you now have the lab record for fastest publishing of your dissertation!

We loved having @kefancathywu.bsky.social and Rachel Torres from the @uofleatlab.bsky.social lab visit us virtually! And so great to see practice #abct2025 talks from @rachelfrietchen.bsky.social and @cmcurran410.bsky.social!

Loved getting to give this talk on dealing with rejections...turns out talking about getting rejected is very cathartic. And hopefully helps normalize the process. Because trust me, I get rejected ALL. THE. TIME.

Will you be at #abct2025? If so, we'd love to see you!
