Research from Scott Griffiths at #EDRS showing that more toxic ED content is delivered to people with #eatingdisorders. TikTok prioritizes time spent watching videos over actions like liking videos - so folks w/ EDs get more toxic content even if they aren’t interacting directly

Day one of #EDRS2025 in sunny/rainy Orange County ☀️🌧️ and my first as an EDRS member!! Becoming a member this year was definitely one of my #imadeit moments as an eating disorder researcher and I can’t wait to learn with and from so many amazing researchers!

#ICED2025 was one for the books! I was so excited that we had a full house for our panel on weight stigma, “feeling fat” across the size spectrum, and eating disorders. A great chance to connect/reconnect with other scientists and practitioners that care about eating disorder advocacy!

That’s a wrap @abctnow.bsky.social! Loved getting to reunite with friends old and new at #ABCT2024! One of the best parts of academic conferences is getting to learn with and from people who are so passionate about what they do! #AcademicSky

OVER THE MOON to have matched for APPIC internship at my DREAM site! Before applications I was so sure I wouldn’t even get an interview at WPH, so I am speechless now.

I’m so proud of my fellow applicants regardless of the outcome. You are all amazing!

How I wanted Thanksgiving week to go vs how it went because I’m tied to my email and phone until APPIC Internship application season is done

It was an incredible experience to chair a symposium for the first time at #ABCTseattle2023! @connorelbe.bsky.social Benji Shephard Zach Soulliard Emma Austen and Rachel Flamer did such an amazing job and I learned so much! The future of this field is bright!

You HAVE to get two, I don’t think my girls would have as much fun and love without the other! Bonus is that I think both our cats love us both equally! 💕

Is your family as equally mystified and confused by the APPIC psychology internship process as mine is? below is the infographic I made for my family members and non clinical colleagues in case it is helpful to anyone else! Feel free to use to reduce any holiday stress as we approach that season
