I am still recruiting for my thesis study exploring people's experiences using coaches (e.g., recovery coaches, life coaches, wellness coaches) for eating disorder recovery! Please share!

Warning: 🧀 cheesy post incoming. I attended my first #ABCT way back in 2013 as a first year grad student in a masters program. My advisors at the time, Drs. Brooke Whisenhunt and Danae Hudson encouraged me to go with the lab because they thought it’d be a good learning opportunity 1/4

I'm hoping to recruit a new clinical psychology doctoral student with an interest in eating disorders and/or body image for Fall 2024. You can learn more about what is going on in my lab and what I look for in candidates here: ohio.edu/cas/labs/b-wel

Hi #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky! 👋Request for you- I’m teaching Health Psych Interventions (grad class) in the spring and feeling stuck - does anyone have an example syllabus they’d be willing to share along with what they liked/didn’t like? Since we don’t have dm’s yet, my email is [email protected]

For anyone tempted to call posts on here 'skeets', please refer to the classic work by Jon et al. (2003). Jon, L., Boyz, E.S., & Twins, Y.Y. (2003). "Get Low". Kings of Crunk, 19.

If you follow me, you can expect tweets about eating disorder prevention and treatment, food access, body image, and weight stigma! And also social media, technology, academic memes, and probably pictures of the outdoors! 🌻
