LOOK, I mean… this dog had my full and unwavering attention

I went to a party last night, and the only evidence that I was there is this photo of me, alone in a room, sitting on the floor, petting a dog.

This is who is answering your emails, by the way.

It took everything in me not to post this photo from the moment I learned that my wedding dress had pockets

Finally, my contributions to the field of infectious diseases are being appropriately recognized (I study body image and feminism).

Big day for this first gen!!

Going to college was a big deal. Going to grad school was a big shock. Publishing my first paper was unbelievable. And now, having my work cited over 1000 times feels simply surreal. Thanks to everyone who has read and cited my scholarship :)

This opportunity was just sent to me, and I figured that I would share it with this community!

Please consider participating in or sharing the recruitment advertisement for our new study, which is focused on understanding body image in bisexual women. The link is in the alt text.

One of my favorite studies to teach about: Dr. Anne Becker’s work in Fiji, exploring the introduction of Western television for young girls’ body image and eating behaviors (it’s bad) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12042229/

Giving a lecture on eating disorders in adolescence in two weeks, and I asked PPT to design a slide about the SWAG stereotype in eating disorders. These are the icons it chose.

When we moved to the Bay Area for my partner’s job, I didn’t know a soul. But almost immediately, @ryanlinnbrown.bsky.social and @sanjanacurtis.bsky.social became my closest friends. It’s hard to form new, deep connections as an adult, but it’s like the three of us have known each other forever.

Sure hope so 😅

Sometimes, when I’m on powerful painkillers, I remember what it was like to feel hope.

If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that if you invite me to your wedding, I WILL be out on the dance floor (I’m sorry).

Out of oral surgery. The procedure apparently went well. I had hoped that the surgeon would be able to place the implant, despite him basically telling me it was impossible. He (unsurprisingly) wasn’t able to do it, so I am down a molar for the next 3 months. At least my Halloween costume is sorted.

I really do like my dentist, but I genuinely do not believe that anyone has ever had a “big smile” while at a dentist’s office. My only goal at the dentist is to enter and exit with as little pain and expense as possible.
