Thank you!!!

This project was Abby's original idea which she explored in an undergraduate research practicum in my Emotions, Health, & the Body Lab at @bellarmineu.bsky.social She is now pursuing her PsyD at Spalding U. Go, Abby!

Of course, more research is needed, esp. to test the progression of the variables in our model. NTL, body image rumination emerges as a novel predictor of poor health. And, this is yet more evidence that it's those negative weight attitudes--not necessarily weight itself--that can be bad for health

Moreover, this relationship may occur because body image rumination disrupts sleep.

Importantly, these results emerged regardless of BMI, no matter where participants fell on the weight spectrum.

In a sample of undergraduate and online community adults, we found that body image rumination--or rehashing negative thoughts *about your body,* over and over again--was associated with poor self-reported health.

Ever lie awake thinking dark thoughts about your body, vowing to "fix" it, etc? While diet culture will tell you that beating yourself up about your appearance in this way is good for your health, it may be just the opposite.

Big, huge CONGRATULATIONS to my former student, Abby Hardy, on her first first-author publication! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

A new study finds one of the most cited #AI models used to scan chest x-rays doesn’t accurately detect potentially life-threatening diseases in marginalized groups, including women and Black people. scim.ag/42uhnPO

I'm new here! And I'm going to kick it off with recruitment for a research study:

If you are a clinician with experience treating eating disorders, please participate in this research study!

Why call? Why sign letters? Why protest? What does it do??

It. Adds. Up. And PRESSURE WORKS!

Keep it up, Dorks!

But tech has to step up. How hard is it to include a non-removable signature when someone uses Copilot to complete an exam or research survey, for example? Or when AI writes something for you? That would be one step toward making AI use more ethical

I keep telling myself it's early days, and it won't always be like this. And I know faculty/universities are doing the work to delineate proper vs. improper uses, how to reduce students' perception that "everyone's using it" in improper ways, how to support faculty who catch it

Caught some students using AI to plagiarize. Instead of being even remotely satisfying, it's just heartbreaking and disappointing

Ugh, this is heartbreaking

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

I’m here to tell you that @standupforscience.bsky.social is working HARD behind the scenes to fight back against Trump’s destruction of science!

We are going all in this summer ahead of the budget vote…and setting up to support pro-science candidates in the midterms.

We are gonna save science!

That SALVO is straight-up WITHERING

Beyond honored to have received the Outstanding Scholar Educator Award from @bellarmineu.bsky.social. I’ve been so very blessed with talented, hard-working students and exceptionally supportive colleagues 💕

Researchers identified risk factors for #bodyimage disturbances among women of reproductive age, diagnosed with #PCOS finding BMI, occupation, family caregiving, acne, intimate relationships, 👩‍❤️‍👨 and more were associated with worse body image for these women 😔 #WomensHealth tinyurl.com/3xabu4bk
