"Mental health patients harmed by being sent to units far from home, report finds."

Comes shortly after a report about trauma caused to vulnerable patients by under-staffing.

Eating disorders research folks and folks interested in eating disorders research - please follow and/or join this starter pack! Thanks for helping us rebuild over here @joewonderlich.bsky.social!

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?

I’m so happy to see more folks from the #EDresearch world moving over to blue sky :) Hopefully this little slice of our world will be less of a cesspool of nonsense and Musk-influence 🙃

Which light fixture do you like best here?

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.

This weekend I decided to stay home and putter around while partner visits family. On my to-do list: house projects, bookstore, go to the market, order takeout…What a treat!

As a white person in the academy, I can assure you that we have plenty of opportunities.

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?

Why so many transparent shoes on love is blind? Is this a new trend? I don’t have the toes for these.

I’ve wanted a red espresso machine since my first job in an Italian bakery, so for the last 17 years. Look how pretty she is!✨
