WAY TO GO @oclancy.bsky.social !!!!

I could not be more proud of my supervisees, Rachel and Kristin, for penning this incredible op-ed piece about increasing Auburn University's funding of the Auburn Eating Disorders Clinic: aub.ie/oyfdWL. Give it a read, it is 🔥🔥🔥

REDS laber @carterjillian.bsky.social presented her work at SEPA in NOLA this past week!

Social pain minimization mediates weight discrimination’s effects on interpersonal well-being in the workplace - Brielle N. Johnson, Gargi Sawhney, Jonathan W. Kunstman, 2026 Workplace weight discrimination is pervasive and negatively impacts employees and organizations. Yet, little is known about the psychological processes linking ...

When employees experience weight discrimination, it doesn’t just affect outcomes, it also affects whether they feel heard and taken seriously.
New research from AU highlights emotion invalidation as a key mechanism linking stigma to workplace harm.

Me at 8. Years later, my dream of opening an eating disorders clinic came true. At the AEDC, we are expanding access to care & training the next generation of therapists. We have 1 MORE DAY to reach our fundraising goal. If you’re able to support/share, it truly makes a difference:

The Auburn Eating Disorders Clinic provides low-cost, evidence-based care while training future clinical psychologists. Demand remains high, with a 3+ month waitlist.

Support expands access to care & training the next generation:

We’re excited to see this feature on our low-cost eating disorders clinic. The creation of this clinic reflects our commitment to increasing access to care for students and the broader community.

We are getting excited for #SRS2026! Come check us out!

In case you didn't know, I have the best lab ever. Here they are surprising me with cake pops. I'm so thankful to get to work with them every day, including my birthday. Thank you, REDS lab!

First Body Advocacy Movement (BAM) group of the semester was a great success thanks to @laurenpictor.bsky.social's leadership!

HUGE congrats to @laurenharris.bsky.social on submitting her K23, "Glycemic variability and interoceptive attention as proximal predictors of eating disorder symptoms in Anorexia Nervosa and Atypical Anorexia"!!!

Four Decades of Psychological Treatment for Bulimia Nervosa and Binge‐Eating Disorder: A Meta‐Regression of Changes in Abstinence Rates Over Time Objective Earlier meta-analyses showing low rates of abstinence in treatments for bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge-eating disorder (BED) have spurred growing efforts to improve outcomes. In response, ...

Wow. No evidence of improved outcomes for the treatment of bulimia or binge eating disorder over the past FOUR decades. We must do better. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Suicides Were Frequent at the Golden Gate Bridge. Not Anymore.

Although I wish this had happened sooner, I'm beyond grateful the protection is finally there.

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...

Excited to have the military adaptation of our interoception intervention featured in the latest APA Monitor. Check it out here (scroll to the bottom :): www.apa.org/monitor/2025...

Looks like we're going to The Hague! Congrats to REDS Labers on their acceptances for #ICED2026! @laurenharris.bsky.social @laurenpictor.bsky.social @carterjillian.bsky.social @oclancy.bsky.social

100% yes to this. I tried to get out of one by saying I couldn't do it till 1/10/26, but they were like, yeah that works.🙃

PTSD disproportionately affects service members. In an RCT, RISE—an interoception-based training—reduced PTSD symptoms indirectly by increasing acceptance of uncomfortable internal sensations.

Way to go, all!

Way to go @laurenpictor.bsky.social !

Yay for open science! Check out our recently published protocol paper for REDS Lab and @uofleatlab.bsky.social's R01, which is investigating predictors of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors in anorexia spectrum disorders.

Check out our new article on ARFID that was specifically written for kids!

Congratulations to @taylorbstanley.bsky.social on publishing her dissertation! This study identified four distinct user profiles based on use patterns and how cannabis affects appetite/food reward.

So great to have these awesome virtual visitors from @uofleatlab.bsky.social, Dr. Rachel Torres and @kefancathywu.bsky.social, and hear awesome #abct2025 practice talks from @cmcurran410.bsky.social and @rachelfrietchen.bsky.social

What's the secret to success in academia? 10% good ideas + 90% perseverance through all the rejections!

We are so excited to be presenting at #ABCT2025. We hope to see you there!

Congratulations to @oclancy.bsky.social for successfully proposing her dissertation! We can't wait to see the results!

We are so grateful to our participants for helping us with this important work!

AU's Clinical PhD application deadline is approaching (12/1/25)! 🦊 REDS lab plans to accept a grad student for Fall 2026. Folks interested in eating disorders and/or suicide are encouraged to apply! See here for more details: www.redslab.org/join-the-lab
