One of the first studies I envisioned as part of my PhD was a study of #CognitiveFlexibility and the risk for #Anorexia nervosa. And only a week after I passed my PhD in 2022, this paper was accepted for publication! 1/7 doi.org/10.1016/j.jp...

I don't think I've *ever* checked a manuscript PDF before submission and NOT found a typo. My downloads folder is littered with files like "journalname-0089.pdf", "journalname-0089-2.pdf", "journalname-0089-3.pdf", "journalname-0089-4.pdf", etc

Over the past few months I have gained lots of new followers, many of whom didn't previously follow me over on X. So I'd like to take the opportunity to re-share some of my publications and tell you more about my work.

Things to avoid saying this Christmas: • diet starts in January! • are you going to eat all that? • go on, you can have one drink! • give [other person] a kiss • you’re ruining it for other people • cheer up, it’s Christmas

If you completed a task that evaluated 'cognitive flexibility' and then a self-report questionnaire that was also said to assess 'cognitive flexibility', you might assume that these assessments are equivalent. They are not. 1/5 🧵 doi.org/10.1080/0004...

Today I’ve been working on transcribing some interviews I recorded several years ago as part of a study on anorexia nervosa. And I am amazed by the participants. What they are saying is so insightful and interesting! It really is reminding me why I work in eating disorders research.

I'm peer-reviewing a paper and slowly starting to wonder, am I Reviewer 2? 😬 I'm trying to be kind and constructive, but it is very challenging when there are multiple issues with a manuscript!
