Our lab group is discussing the role of AI in writing and research tomorrow, with the hope of creating lab specific guidance. If any folks have already created something like this already and would be willing to share, we'd love to see what you've come up with!

If risk is similar across β€˜typical’ and β€˜atypical’ anorexia, then language matters. Time to shift away from labels that imply lesser severity. Congrats @laurenharris.bsky.social on this impactful paper! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Using network analysis to personalize treatment for individuals with co-occurring restrictive eating disorders and suicidality: a proof-of-concept study - Journal of Eating Disorders Background Nomothetic (i.e., on average) eating disorder interventions generally provide insufficient guidance for managing suicidality.

new pub alert ⚠️ did you know that there are currently no evidence-based eating disorder interventions that provide
explicit guidelines for treating co-occurring AN/AAN and suicidality? in this new (open access) article, we demonstrate how idiographic networks could be used to address this gap.

Eating disorder research defunded despite MAHA focus on chronic conditions Experts on eating disorders like anorexia worry that research funding cuts mean patients won't get the care they need.

Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic.

Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them.

This isn’t just suppressing science - it’s a decision that will cost lives.
