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...

today's mood

new pub alert ⚠️ did you know that there are currently no evidence-based eating disorder interventions that provide explicit guidelines for treating co-occurring AN/AAN and suicidality? in this new (open access) article, we demonstrate how idiographic networks could be used to address this gap.

Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic. Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them. This isn’t just suppressing science - it’s a decision that will cost lives. www.statnews.com/2025/06/03/e...

had such an awesome time at #ICED2025! truly inspiring to be a part of this conference with so many incredible researchers, clinicians, and educators.

I'm so excited to be co-chairing the Scientific Program Committee of #ICED2025 with Dr. Luz Scapaturra in just a few short days! The conference line-up is incredibly exciting, and includes some great work from our @redslabauburn.bsky.social. Please come say "hi" if you'll be in San Antonio!

We will not stand down. We will continue to fight so that people do not die and lose their joy because of eating disorders. Can you help us fight back in the face of tyranny so we can continue our forward momentum? Please give & share - any little bit helps www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

Loved getting to see @kefancathywu.bsky.social's work at #SRS2025, which finds that people with anorexia nervosa and atypical anorexia nervosa have similarly elevated levels of suicidal ideation. @cherilev.bsky.social @ryleelusich.bsky.social @laurenharris.bsky.social

Women comprise up to 80% of psychology graduate students, yet women represent 65.1% of assistant professorships, 56.5% of associate professorships, and 42.8% of full professorships. These numbers are a lot worse at the intersection of gender x race. 1/4

holding myself accountable to call my reps today! this site makes it so easy, even my social anxiety and I can do it 💪https://5calls.org/

today I emailed my (Republican) senators asking them to take action to protect our scientific institutions. this week I plan to call. you can use this link to find your representatives and figure out how much NIH funding your state has received: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Sending all the good vibes to everyone interviewing/ranking internship sites this year...in this climate...at this particular moment in time...

🚨👀We would LOVE for you to submit to the upcoming collection "Moving the Needle on Eating Disorder Treatment: Precision Psychiatry and Personalized Treatment Advances" by April 29. Learn more about the collection and how to contribute: bit.ly/3UHPCyj

as happy as I am when other authors cite me, I get even more excited when I get to cite my friends. like, my friend has written a paper with the exact information I want to include in my paper... what a gift... 🥹

do people know about "written kitten"? you get rewarded with a new picture of a kitten (or puppy, or bunny) for every 100 words you write! you can also set a different goal for yourself if you're ambitious. it's great, but I would love to know if folks are aware of any other similar writing tools 📝

the targeted ads are starting to feel a little *too* targeted

We are hiring summer interns! Come work with my team and I and learn a lot about #eatingdisorders Please resky (is that what we call it? 😂)

new paper out in IJED 📣 I'm very excited about this project, which marks my first time publishing in an eating disorders journal (take that, imposter syndrome)! we set out to test a novel online intervention designed to enhance motivation to reduce restrictive eating, with some promising results...

just finished importing all my old tweets via Porto! I hope that you all enjoy the memes I crafted in grad school, back when I used to be funny

5 years ago, I began working on the project that would eventually become my dissertation. today, I finally submitted my manuscript for review. the journey is far from over, but I am so excited to be one step closer to getting this out into the world! 🎉

applying for licensure feels like going on a scavenger hunt, except it costs hundreds of dollars and your prize is getting to take the EPPP

the doctors are IN! 🎓 (I'm slightly delayed on this announcement, but what's a few days compared to 6 years?) #PhDone

proud to be a member of the graduating VAAAHS internship class of 2024 🥳

participate in my friend's awesome dissertation research!

after taking the weekend off to relax and celebrate, I wanted to share that I have successfully defended my dissertation! I'm so grateful to everyone who helped make this milestone possible. keep an eye out for the eventual publication, probably in 5-10 years 😅

it's happening!!! #APPIC #MatchDay

hi #AcademicTwitter, I need some help with a project. I'm creating a survey that prompts participants to record and submit an audio response. I know that software like Phonic does this, but it's pricey. does anyone know any free alternatives (with Qualtrics integration)? TIA!
