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.

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

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/

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

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!

Jean Forney @jeanforney.bsky.social · 17/03/2025
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...

Scientists, I love you. I love your passion. I am one of you. But we have to talk about *how* we communicate what’s happening. People won’t fight for “science” in the abstract. They’ll fight when they understand what they are losing. A quick guide: Not this, but this. 🧵

Not sure if you're talking about APA required breadth or clinical training, but in either case I think there are benefits to being exposed to a wide variety of skills/subfields/perspectives. You never know what might catch your interest or what you might be able to borrow for your own work.
