There's a lot here that we can all learn about steps that we need to take to improve access to research informed treatment. Also kudos to Hannah Frank, PhD for lowering the barriers to understanding research findings by creating a digestible infographic!

Thrilled to be involved in this work, humbled by how hard it is to be a woman and a mom in academia, and happy to share my experience applying for and securing an NIH Career Development Award with anyone who is thinking of applying!

Thrilled to be interviewed for Rhode Island PBS Weekly to talk about how eating disorders don't fit a stereotype. Such an important conversation that I'm thankful Rhode Island PBS Weekly is featuring!

Involving trainees in decision making processes is of critical importance. It's been a pleasure working on these commentaries with my fellow former Brown Psychiatry and Human Behavior psychology trainees and trainees from all over the country to keep moving the conversation forward.

Wow… more from Justice Jackson: “With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces "colorblindness for all' by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life.”
