People with eating disorders often post about their symptoms on social media📱 Can AI help detect markers of ED risk in online spaces & connect users to evidence-based support? Social media platforms already use automated tools to flag harmful content, but these systems usually aren’t transparent.

Year 2 of my NIMH F31 was supposed to have started yesterday. An award that I was proud to have funded on the first submission (13th percentile), which supported my dissertation research on eating disorders in adolescents, and which funded my tuition, stipend, and health insurance for the past year.

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Most people with eating disorders never receive treatment, and those who do often don’t get evidence-based tx. Although many MH providers would be interested in providing this sort of care, specialized training in EBTs for EDs is not accessible for most providers.. (1/n)
