Buzzing from the energy of the 1st-ever New Brunswick Eating Disorder Summit on Friday! 150 guests from every corner of NB came to discuss the dire state of ED care, and how to move forward. It feels like we had a birthday party (for a lethal health issue), and everyone came!

Refreshing my slides on APA-style and realizing the meme I used last year has not aged well. Leave it in to troll my students?

See how I include all the items in my scale validation paper? Very demure, very mindful.
See how I also include the instructions, scoring, and response options? Very considerate, very cutesy.

Now imagine being admitted with an eating disorder. No specialized inpatient eating disorder beds in NB, meal support (the key to medical stabilization & recovery) typically isn’t provided, and as a person with many food fears and sensitivities, you’re expected to eat this…
The Stouffers-like Mac & canned soup is what everyone on my wing got. I walked to the cafeteria and bought the chicken wrap and smoothie.
I want @HorizonHealthNB to reflect on this — if I’d arrived in my suit to meet management, which one would I have been served?

Body image researchers, please consider participating in this important study– especially Canadians, let's get ourselves on the map! @aaron_keshen @PhillipJoy2 @DrSarahRacine @KristinvonRanso @MittertreinerEm @sarahlshep @JenniferCoutur
Bravo @Joanna_Buscemi! I admire this move so much. Would ❤️ to see more research groups following your lead, pivoting away from the behavioural weight loss intervention space and its harmful and ineffective focus on weight and restriction.
We have rebranded the @CHOICE_LAB to move completely away from weight and toward addressing the real issue of broad-based health inequities that persist across disease presentations. This move represents professional and personal growth, and it feels good to be here: A thread 1/x
