Wanted to send a delayed shoutout to @mbillmanmiller.bsky.social & Jen Finkelstein for rocking their #ICED2025 presentations last week! 🥰 🥹 🤗

The deadline is approaching for The Springfield Research Fund Grants! This program supports research of contemporary LGBTQIA+ issues in an effort to dispel stereotypes and other negative information that leads to prejudice and discrimination. Apply by June 12! ampsychfdn.org/fundi...

STRIPED’s Ariel Beccia speaks out in Theresa Gaffney’s new STAT piece on how eating disorder research is being gutted under the Trump admin. $2.7M in NIH grants already cut. Read more: www.statnews.com/2025/06/03/e... @hsph.harvard.edu @albeccia.bsky.social @statnews.com

Eating disorders are chronic diseases. But instead of focusing on these- MAHA is terminating funding. 1 in 5 kids have an ED. Eating disorder research has always been underfunded — about $55 million in NIH grants went to eating disorder research in 2023 www.statnews.com/2025/06/03/e...

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

They made it really easy. Do it!

Please do this RIGHT NOW, takes 30 seconds if that!

Thanks to @theresagaff.bsky.social for highlighting the devastating impact that terminated #eatingdisorder grants will have on Americans - including our work on LGBTQ-affirmative therapy for EDs @ajblashill.bsky.social

And that's a wrap on #iced2025! Thank you to everyone that helped plan and participated in this conference!! Your voices helped make this a great conference. I know I'm biased, but this was one of my favorite ICEDs ever!

Come join @mbillmanmiller.bsky.social & I for our #ICED2025 panel on communicating information on EDs - starting today at 10am in Salon I. We have amazing speakers @jasonmnagata.bsky.social Cara Bohon, Savannah Roberts, & Karen Jennings Mathis!!

Big update to scienceimpacts.org: See the devastating impact of cancelled NIH grants across the country, and how losses at specific institutions ripple out to surrounding communities. This is all in addition to the future losses that would result from cutting funds for indirect costs of research.

Ready for my very first talk today at #ICED2025 ! Please come on by as I share qualitative data related to people’s perceptions on feeling fat.

Excited to present two SIG panels at #ICED2025 related to weight stigma and disordered eating with my fabulous collaborators including my amazing weight stigma SIG co-chair @drmollyinprogress.bsky.social!

Folks have started reaching out again, so here’s your reminder: I will be reviewing PhD applications this fall! 📅 Deadline: Nov 15, 2025 🔗 Info: publish.illinois.edu/healthequity... 📨 Questions? [email protected] 🔵 @vjrp.bsky.social #PhDChat #HealthEquity #ClinicalPsych

Please make a comment on this NOW (they are due tomorrow). We can't let NIH and NSF POs and division directors become political appointees--this will completely destroy science.

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!

Going to #ICED2025 in San Antonio next week?? Come chat with us & see amazing work from ACCEPT Labbers @mbillmanmiller.bsky.social Kennedi Burton, & Jen Finkelstein! 💙💙💙

Going to APS? If so, come check out these fantastic REDS Labers' work! @rachelfrietchen.bsky.social @laurenpictor.bsky.social c

If you’ll be in DC for #APS2025 this week, stop by and see two of my favorite scientists in action!

Excited to see our paper examining the prospective compounding effects of racial discrimination, minority stress, and intraminorty stress on dimensions of disordered eating in sexual minority men of color published at Stigma and Health psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...

Whoohoo! Shoutout to @rachelfrietchen.bsky.social and co-authors @mbillmanmiller.bsky.social @dominicmdenning.bsky.social @aprilrosesmith.bsky.social for this paper on #interoceptive sensibility in #TGE samples!

So honored to receive the @abct-edeb-sig.bsky.social Diversity Research Award and get the opportunity to share some of my research at the EDEB SIG meeting! We found longitudinal associations between body dissatisfaction and body mistrust among Black US Americans @abctnow.bsky.social #AcademicSky

Excited to have passed my thesis proposal as of this morning. Now I just have to do the thing…

If anyone is looking for a place to donate during this holiday season, I highly recommend transanta (buy.transanta.com)! They are a fantastic nonprofit that allows you to provide gifts (via registry purchase through Amazon) directly to trans youth anonymously.

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

Come visit the ACCEPT Lab at #ABCT2023 & see @dominicmdenning.bsky.social Rylee Lusich, & Jordan Alvarez present their work!

✨I will be reviewing applications for UNM's clinical psych PhD program this cycle! Those w/ interests in addiction etiology and precision medicine, mixed method approaches (including advanced statistical methods), measurement, and community engagement would be a good fit.

📣Pending final approval for funding, Aaron Blashill & I anticipate hiring a fulltime postdoctoral fellow/project director on a NIH-sponsored trial to further develop and pilot test a novel psychosocial treatment for sexual minority adults living with an eating disorder.

📣😀Excited to announce I will be recruiting 1-2 Clinical Psych PhD students for the 2024 cycle. Students interested in ED prevention and treatment, body image, & LGBTQ+ healthare especially encouraged to apply! acceptlab.wixsite.com/acceptlab/gr...
