Did you have any luck on your job search a while back?

yes i am now a postdoc and professional researcher assistant in a queer eating disorder lab and am v happy about it :) ty for asking!!

thinking about my mom & her mom & her mom, coming from nothing, hiding and erasing who they are and silencing their voices, trapped in so many ways, desperate to be free. and then i'm here, from a first generation college student to a phd. these women sacrificed everything, they carried me through, they gave me the strength to refuse to be silent, to speak from the heart and be proud of who we are. they carried me. and i will carry them.

How’s ED recovery and/or research life treating you? (No pressure to answer!!!)

recovery is fine with the exception of navigating a lot of restrictions due to two health conditions i was diagnosed with in the last year

research life is also fine! struggling with recruitment for one of my studies, if people have access to a large following and are willing to spread information let me know lol
