First up from our presentations at #ICED2026: Dr. Vanzhula, Dr. Levinson, and Dr. Osborn’s workshop on exposure-based approaches to addressing mealtime rituals in eating disorder treatment. It sparked engaging and insightful discussion! #cancelEDs #eatlab

Great start to #iced2026 with @cherilev.bsky.social getting our traditional conference ramen! This was one of the tastiest yet.

Fantastic work by @cherilev.bsky.social and her team - truly a joy getting to collaborate with all of them to integrate/adapt their work on treating eating disorders into our digital therapy ecosystem (credit/thanks as always to Michelle Craske ~ UCLA DGC/ADRC). @personalizedtx.bsky.social

This paper touches on the issues of ED. There are a lot of people who are dealing with ED who don't understand the physiology of what's going on when people restrict food, but only see what they want to see from the outside. There should be more education when it comes to food and the human body.

New paper! We show how diet culture & weight stigma are baked into eating disorder treatment—leading to missed diagnoses in higher-weight people, BMI-based denial of care, thin-centric programs, and clinicians unintentionally reinforcing fear of weight gain. www.jandonline.org/action/showP...

Congrats to UofL clinical psychology graduate student Loie Faulkner and her co-authors, Dr. Levinson, Dr. Klein, and Dr. Bufferd on their newest publication in Behavior Therapy! Great job on your first, first author publication, Loie!!

HUGE congrats to @laurenharris.bsky.social on submitting her K23, "Glycemic variability and interoceptive attention as proximal predictors of eating disorder symptoms in Anorexia Nervosa and Atypical Anorexia"!!!

Among older adults receiving care in an academic health system, behavioral science–informed electronic health record interventions increased deprescribing or tapering of potentially inappropriate medications compared with usual care. ja.ma/4a4IGCT

If you think they’re building more detention facilities, increasing mass surveillance, and growing the size of ICE just to deport undocumented immigrants, then you haven’t been paying attention. Continuing to fund ICE is enabling what we all know is coming next.

Supremely talented doctoral student Halle Fowler is hoping to put together an ABCT panel related to Deaf and Hard of Hearing suicide prevention or mental health. We have multiple qualitative and quantitative studies on DHH interpretation in mental health settings. We need help finding panelists!

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

2025 made one thing undeniable: the systems were never built for people like me. A woman. A mother of young children. A scientist who is loud, who speaks hard truths, who thinks beyond sanctioned boxes, and who refuses to comply with a status quo that harms people.

Inviting submissions to a new special issue on precision and personalized treatment approaches led by @cherilev.bsky.social and @aaronjfisher.bsky.social! It’s gonna be a fantastic collection so send us your favorite new work :) www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

This year saw almost a 50 percent decrease in funded grants on mental health. This is not okay. There is a literal mental health crisis in our country & instead of funding more work on cures we are cutting the amount of work in half. Our children will suffer from this. archive.is/2025.12.02-2...

I’m so honored to be awarded and to present our findings at the @abct-ssi-sig.bsky.social meeting!! So grateful for all of my mentors!! @aprilrosesmith.bsky.social @cherilev.bsky.social @laurenharris.bsky.social

Consequences of Grant Termination in Clinical Trials

In March 2025, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that it would be terminating $1.8 billion in grant funding unaligned with the agency’s priorities.1 The proportion of grant funding tha...

A reminder that for every dollar invested in NIH research, ~$1.47 was returned. Investors who aren’t gluttonous pigs would do that deal every day, all day long. Cutting grants is like someone looting one’s stock portfolio (if privileged enough to have one).
