Just engaged in the ultimate safety behavior of pushing my EPPP by 48 hours. A friendly reminder for myself and all of my fellow exposure therapists that avoidance continues because it really does feel great for a time! 🙃

does anyone have a skin conductance IRB protocol they might be willing to share with me? thanks in advance!

EATING DISORDERS RESEARCHERS AND CLINICIANS: APA is proposing changes to the eating disorder severity indicators. Now is the time to have YOUR VOICE heard about the continued use of BMI in assessing AN severity and more. https://www.psychiatry.org/psychiatrists/practice/dsm/proposed-changes

setting aside Florida's Board of Governors corrosively nefarious intentions behind this move, as someone who typically finishes drafting my syllabi on <the author blushes in shame> the eve of the first day of class, this will haunt my nightmares forever

A Comment article in Nature Reviews Nephrology discusses how little attention has been given to how the termination of 2,100 NIH grants effect people who stand to benefit most from scientific discoveries: patients, care partners and community leaders. go.nature.com/47nCWmG #medsky 🧪

Really loved working with @courtneybreiner.bsky.social and Hana Zickgraf on this ARFID review! I am especially proud of our assessment tips, differential dx. thoughts, and our attempt to summarize treatment outcomes data that are rapidly emerging. Check it out! authors.elsevier.com/a/1lxOU,4QFJ...

A week left to apply for this PhD on eating disorders (ARFID): gw4biomed.ac.uk/unlocking-th... Support on applying: gw4biomed.ac.uk/how-to-apply...

So grateful to the teens who shared their experiences with us to help develop the Co-occurring Insecurities Model, a new working theoretical model to explain the link between #foodinsecurity and #bingeeating. Full text: authors.elsevier.com/a/1loUMiVKTo...

Today I thought it was Thursday for almost the entirety of a one-hour meeting, mainly because I often do work related to this particular meeting on Thursdays. Imagine my horror in discovering it was in fact only Tuesday

🚨 Mark your calendar: Oct 2. Sanford's FREE virtual Eating Disorders Research Summit brings 4 world-class scientists to discuss treatments for BED, tech-driven prevention, GI health in malnutrition, and brain reward pathways. Don’t miss it—register now: www.eeds.com/live/794837 #EatingDisorders

Reminder that today is the last day for you to submit comments that one cannot demand publications from NIH-funded researchers be immediately publicly available while simultaneously not providing well thought out infrastructure or funds to make that happen: osp.od.nih.gov/comment-form...

Now let’s do the nation.

Pls I can't do this today

Some of y’all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal. Regulations don’t exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

a fun fact is that being a researcher also requires you to have secondary expertise in copyright law, it seems

RFK Jr. is going to release a report on what he thinks are the causes of Autism Spectrum Disorder. There is reason to believe it won’t be trustworthy, so @defendpublichealth.bsky.social has released our own evidence-based report of ASD risk factors to the public. Vaccines aren’t one of them.

Does anyone have any good books on the science of cortisol (or maybe not focused on cortisol but with good info on cortisol as part of it, maybe an academic book on hormones more broadly)? All I am finding are like non academic fad diet cortisol lowering type stuff 🙄

Live footage of me trying to keep up with NIH chaos, get licensed as a psychologist, write my first grant as PI, and plan a wedding

Sharing and advancing science has never been more important. With that said, I'm pleased to share our new @acamh.bsky.social JCPP Annual Research Review on the neural mechanisms of pediatric eating disorders: acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Am I the only one needing to scramble to figure out what to do about under review or soon to be submitted papers that apparently must now need to be open access? Are we… going to do something about this?

📣 New preprint from the SCIMaP team! Across three studies, we show that communicating the economic impact of NIH funding cuts—especially with interactive quizzes and maps—decreases approval and motivates action to oppose the cuts, across the political spectrum. 🧵 1/8 osf.io/preprints/ps...

I am BEGGING journals to stop making me log in if they want my manuscript review

Does anyone have a copy of the EDE-Q8 (i.e., the shortened 8 item version of the EDE-Q) that they would be willing to share with me?

Not an intelligent thought behind my eyes to be had rn

Entire CDC staff that oversaw an annual survey to better understand infant & maternal health was axed. For 3+ decades, Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, or PRAMS, surveyed moms pre/postpartum & has been used by researchers to study US’s disproportionately high maternal mortality rates

eating disorder research was already so severely underfunded - 7 terminated grants is devastating to our field!

I may not have a lake residence to go to this weekend like all the other cool Fargo kids but I did have this brunch spread including a Bloody Mary with some Swedish meatballs that I finished most of before documenting

Hi friends! I am officially licensed in NY and starting to see kiddos and adolescents with EDs virtually. I primarily use FBT and CBT, and I am super funny (my adolescents will back me up on this, begrudgingly). Feel free to refer any folks my way! care.headway.co/providers/co...

Hi, it's me, a younger scientist, not feeling supported

We’d really love to have more mental health professionals participate in our study to better understand their perspectives on a national autism registry! #AutRes #PsychSciSky #actuallyautistic

Hi friends. Are there any places that publish measure development protocol papers?

A dialectic I am grappling with lately is that real-world clinical data is very important AND makes my brain hurt

I continue to be astounded by how long it takes me to put together a single conference abstract.

I was afraid this was coming and this makes me SO MAD.

Enjoyed my first #HiTOP conference but I fear I must return home to my child now

Here in Denver for @hitop-system.bsky.social! Far from a HiTOP expert but here to spread some ARFID enthusiasm (what else is new)

Looking for help with an R problem that is bending my brain: I have a dataset that was given to me in long-ish format...two diff rows for each participant, reflecting two different timepoints. HOWEVER, I also have two separate variables I need for analyses that are still in wide format...

Pleased to report that ggplot continues to be the bane of my existence

picking a wedding planner after a consultation weirdly has me feeling post-first date vibes. I'm like OMG we need to lock them down, they were so cool, but did they think WE were cool!?

in today's dumb R code errors, I spent a significant amount of time getting errors installing a particular package, and then thought I needed to update my R version to get it and did so, and then realized that I had a lower case l in the package when I should have had a capital I

My fellow research postdocs - how often are we taking on new manuscript reviews? I sometimes question if I am doing too many (it's also possible I'm very slow at reviewing...), but at the same time, I'm in a fully research role right now, so sometimes it feels like I should do a lot..

I am so excited to share my first publication, a labor of love! My co-1st author @katerinaldi1.bsky.social and I examined weight related terminology preference within two samples of folks in larger bodies🥰 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Congrats to all who are excited about their APPIC match result! You made it through a historically terrible and chaotic cycle. At the same time, some of you may be feeling unsure or sad. Know that internship is one year, and you may take something from where you matched that you can't see now!
