Main takeaways:
Anorexia nervosa symptoms tended to improve while OCD symptoms did not.

Most studies looked at treatments developed for anorexia.

More research investigating treatment of comorbid anorexia and OCD is needed, particularly for more severe OCD.

Excited that my comprehensive exam was just published!

We looked at studies on treatments for comorbid anorexia nervosa and OCD.

Proud of this commentary I wrote with Megan Mikhail where we argue the next 50 years of eating disorder research must center equity & impact to actually make meaningful progress towards reducing the prevalence & progression of eating disorders. Open access:

Centering Impact and Equity in the Next 50 Years of Eating Disorder Research

Over the past 50 years, there has been a significant increase in research on eating disorders, which is encouraging and necessary given the substantial mortality, morbidity, and personal and societal...

"In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet 'agency priorities'"

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants

Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

The Trump Administration is maintaining the NIH grant freeze despite lawsuits challenging the order, a Nature article reported today.

Science funding in the US is already lagging, leaving researchers in limbo.

Revealed: NIH research grants still frozen despite lawsuits challenging Trump order

The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep a funding freeze in place, leaving researchers in limbo.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

This project has been near-and-dear to my heart as an eating disorder researcher who has disabilities from chronic illnesses - I really hope this spurs more ED/disability research.

1

Molly Fennig Steinhoff, MA @mollyfennig.bsky.social · Feb 10

In this paper, we propose that EDs and disabilities are fundamentally related, both directly, and indirectly through shared factors. We also call for future research, - including urging ED researchers to simply include disability as a demographic!

Some good news - super excited that our commentary was just published in Eating Behaviors: "Disabilities and eating disorders: A theoretical model and call for research"
