I wish we could reach the average American and let them know that with Trump’s cuts to the NSF, NIH, and CDC, they will no longer have access to cutting-edge medicine. U.S. physicians won’t have access to new technology. New cancer treatments will be available in other countries but not to them.

Some actions to oppose Trump’s NIH freezes: ➡️ Contact your electeds and urge them speak up ➡️ Demand your electeds oppose the nominations of RFK as HHS head and Bhattacharya as NIH head ➡️ Sign a group letter opposing the nominations ➡️ Stage a protest outside your lab/work

👩🏻‍🔬 I'm recruiting for my dissertation study! 📱 We're recruiting teens ages 14-19 who experience binge eating and are willing to complete daily surveys on their phones. 👩‍💻 Teens interested in participating can complete an interest survey: redcap.drexel.edu/redcap/surveys… 📢 Please spread the word!

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)
