I had the privilege of presenting 2 posters this year. The first was a @abct-edeb-sig.bsky.social SIG poster exploring people’s experiences using coaching services for eating disorder recovery. This was my first conference presentation on my Masters thesis project!

The second poster was a study exploring disordered eating anonymous group attendance prior to eating disorder treatment and how attending these groups prior to treatment may relate to clinical presentations at intake to eating disorder treatment.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

As a first-gen student and US citizen on one side, queer, & growing up in a low income family with a teen mom who dropped out of high school, there are no words to express this. Clawing up the ladder (while still holding so much privilege) is so hard, but imposter syndrome has nothing on me.

A study in @jama.com last week documented that in just over a month 139 training grants were terminated by the NIH
The study also found that 139 of 694 of the terminated grants were training grants, which support early-career researchers and are sometimes intended to promote diversity in the sciences. 

“This paper is an important accounting of the current moment, important accounting of one facet of what is getting lost,” said Scott Delaney, an epidemiologist at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, who has assembled a database of canceled grants but was not affiliated with the new study. “It’s a critical piece of the puzzle, but the puzzle is much bigger.”

As 100 days in office comes up, let’s focus on the next few months: Trump is trying to stop spending at NIH to justify cutting the NIH budget. Every US scientist should be in contact with their Congressional reps about this. Get grants and money out the door soon or the money goes away.
