I created a starter pack for Eating Disorders Research.
No clue what I am doing, but maybe this will help us find each other in the great migration.

Hello 🦋, it’s me, Emilie, a clinical psychology researcher at the University of New Brunswick (Eastern Canada) studying eating disorders & body image. Thought I’d (re)introduce myself. Here are some pics of our lab group, MEAL, at UNB. How cute are we?

On World Mental Health Day, sharing Kerri’s horrifying story of trying to access eating disorders care for her child. There are many others just like it. Most people can’t leave New Brunswick to access this essential health care- we need specialized services here & now.

Had my first proper on-camera media interview and I’m already catastrophizing potential headlines: “Poorly-Lit and Rambling Assistant Professor Sets Field Back Years and Does Immeasurable Harm by Misspeaking.”
Any words of advice/other catastrophic headlines for me? 😅

Everyone who visits my office thinks I have a green thumb, but this is not the case. These are the 5 fittest plants that have survived years of my neglect where others perished, only to be brought into my office when I got a cat and realized every single one of them was super toxic.

Being on internship this year has only strengthened my belief x100 that it should be an optional, post-doc requirement. At least if we're keeping the same clinical hours requirements in grad school. The current system is simply *wild* and I can't believe it's been this way for so long!

Last night I was admiring the black beans of @trance.bsky.social's white cat Han, and ended up learning from commenters that toe beans are called "little pillows" in many other languages! If you speak a non-English language would you share the word(s) for a cat's toe pads and what it means?

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, let’s recall the TRC’s 94 Calls to Action. These are some calls I find particularly relevant to post-secondary education and health.
It’s been 8 years since these were released- how are we doing?

tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day (known as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation for our northern relatives in Canada). it's a day to honor the children who never returned home from residential boarding schools. our family matriarch and my dear Grandma Myrtle is a boarding school survivor. 1/
