Hi folks! My collaborators at UNC and I are recruiting for a new research study focused on improving an eating disorders prevention program for South Asian women living in the United States! Please see the flyer for more details and share widely with anyone who may qualify!

REGISTER NOW: The EDEB SIG is co-sponsoring a webinar with the BMED/IPC SIG on the implementation of ethical weight management interventions without promoting weight stigma. Help spread the word! @abctnow.bsky.social Register here: bit.ly/TreatingEati...
Beaten to posting about it but had a good time talking about sports betting and the impacts in Ohio with Spectrum News. There is a lot we are working on in Ohio to try to better support those with gambling problems and the TEA Lab is continuing to do work in this area.
The best part of teaching might be getting to set aside time to read big picture articles like this one. Definitely worth a read! psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...
Apps are due Monday!
The @abctnow.bsky.social EDEB SIG is hosting a webinar on single session interventions TOMORROW! Check it out and register here: abctedebsig.wixsite.com/abct-edeb-si...
In addition to our TT assistant professor position, we are also hiring an open rank position with our Clinical Child position. www.ohiouniversityjobs.com/postings/55336
Come join us in Athens! We are hiring a TT assistant professor in our APA accredited clinical psychology program at Ohio University.
🌟The REPEAT Lab at VCU (PI: Dr. Annie Haynos) in Richmond, VA is hiring a clinical research coordinator! 🌟 We use various methods (fMRI, EMA, computational modeling) to study neurobiological mechanisms and treatment for eating disorders & other disorders of rigidity. Post will be open for 1 week! 🧠📊

I have a lot of questions about how this might generalize to the real world and who might be most affected by exercise. We have a small pilot study testing these hypotheses underway and hope to conduct a larger trial with funding. 4/4
These effects might be stronger when people exercise in a fasted state. These effects also are specific to cardiovascular activity and not resistance training. 3/
Basic rodent and exercise physiology research suggests that moderate to vigorous physical activity might facilitate dietary restriction by suppressing relative energy intake. We think this might happen through homeostatic and hedonic pathways. 2/
How does exercise contribute to eating disorder maintenance? In our new Spotlight paper, we put forth a model about hypothesized physiological consequences of physical activity. 1/ doi.org/10.1002/eat....
Read this for lab meeting this week. Great paper. I really appreciated the thoughtful overview of interoceptive exposure for panic and it's mechanisms. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...
Proud to say "clandestine" is in the accepted version.
Taylor's paper can be found here and is open access thanks to the folks at OhioLink! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 4/4
This was surprising to me but underscores the long term consequences of food insecurity and how access to large quantities of food can facilitate binge eating. 3/4
A smart reviewer had us look at the impact of campus meal plans. Students who had a campus meal plan had a link between food insecurity and binge eating, but students without a meal plan did not! 2/4
How are food insecurity, intuitive eating, and binge eating related? @trezeppa.bsky.social found (non)reliance on internal hunger and security cues may account for the relationship between food insecurity and binge eating in college students. 1/4
Same. How???
I am teaching my phd writing workshop course this quarter, question: are there any words/phrases said to you by an advisor/mentor that stuck with you, were memorable, or particularly helpful? If so please reply below!
Our research question and findings overlap with some recent work by @drmartinwagar.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
To what extent do internalized weight stigma and thin ideal internalization overlap? Our recent paper suggests not too much and that eating disorder prevention programs might want to target both types of internalized bias. doi.org/10.1002/jclp...
Misplaced something, tore apart my office, and found a letter from NIH in 1999 with a grant score shoved in the bottom of a drawer. Did life feel calmer in the days of paper correspondence?
Surprisinglu, gastric interoception was not linked to feeling fat. Reviewers suggested some interesting post hoc analyses that suggest feeling fat might be linked to feelings of fullness. Interesting future directions!
Does "feeling fat" reflect problems identifying emotions, problems attuning to bodily cues, or both? @naomighill.bsky.social found that poorer emotion differentiation is associated with feeling fat, only for women higher in eating pathology. kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...
Professor of Neuroscience Shelly Flagel from central Ohio 🦌: ‘In 2024, NIH grants brought $1B+ to Ohio, supporting 12,893 jobs & $2.7B in economic activity.’ She notes that while Ohio hasn’t beaten Michigan in football lately, it is winning in science funding. 🧪🏠
“How is it that you want diversity of thought, but not diversity of people at these public institutions that would bring that diversity?”
See you tomorrow in C-bus
