Eating disorder hospitalizations among youth rose sharply after COVID-19, stayed high for years, and are now returning to prepandemic levels about 5 years later. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... @hsph.harvard.edu @bostonchildrens.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 🔥🔥🔥

Had such a blast! & huge thank you to @ryleelusich.bsky.social for putting this symposium together! 🎉

Improve Eating Disorder Care Access - Tiger Giving Day This Tiger Giving Day, the Auburn Eating Disorders Clinic (AEDC) is raising $10,000 to fund a graduate student clinician-in-training who will provide life-changing care to children and families who mi...

At AEDC, I am able to provide low cost care to those who need it in a healthcare desert. If you have the bandwidth, please consider donating: tigergiving.org/campaigns/im.... Your donation ensures that eating disorder treatment is available regardless of finances, which is a huge barrier to care.

New preprint! We investigate the risk of algorithmic bias (across race/ethnicity, gender, and their intersection) in machine learning models predicting suicide attempts across 3 clinical settings in over 1.2 million patients.

Access to eating disorder care shouldn’t depend on ability to pay.

We opened a low-cost clinic at Auburn to help close that gap. I'm grateful for this feature highlighting the work:

New paper! We show how diet culture & weight stigma are baked into eating disorder treatment—leading to missed diagnoses in higher-weight people, BMI-based denial of care, thin-centric programs, and clinicians unintentionally reinforcing fear of weight gain.

Experimental evidence of the effects of large language models versus web search on depth of learning Abstract. The effects of using large language models (LLMs) versus traditional web search on depth of learning are explored. A theory is proposed that when

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same.

Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow.

Here Are the Nearly 2,500 Medical Research Grants Canceled or Delayed by Trump (Gift Article) Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

New powerful article up in the New York Times on cancelled and delayed grants

www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Eating disorder research defunded despite MAHA focus on chronic conditions Experts on eating disorders like anorexia worry that research funding cuts mean patients won't get the care they need.

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
