A message from Lauren: During graduate school, I have been funded by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Program, the National Institutes of Health, and the University of North Carolina Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders. The content presented in this podcast is solely my responsibility and does not necessarily reflect the official views of the funders. I also thank my mentors-- including Cindy Bulik, Jessica Baker, Patrick Sullivan and Yoav Gilad-- and assure the listening audience that any error in this podcast is due to my inadequacies as a student rather than theirs as teachers. Hopefully this interview demonstrated the innovation in the eating disorder field, and highlighted some of the questions that remain. Currently, most eating disorders research (including most of my own) focuses on individuals with anorexia nervosa. More funding and research is clearly needed in this area. However, it is also extremely important to increase the number of studies in eating disorders outside of anorexia nervosa. Therefore, I strongly advocate for increased funding to study the biological bases of each eating disorder.

After 6 years, 116 pages, and 29,379 words- I was officially made Sadie Witkowski, PhD!

We all have that friend who is convinced CBD is a true panacea, but has no scientific evidence to back it up. Well, let me introduce you to a memory researcher who has moved into clinical research focusing on CBD, psilocybin, and other trippy drugs. Manoj Doss walks us through some of his research and what we do (or don't) know about different substances.

Our brains are great at soaking up all sorts of information, but less good at updating that information. This can become a problem when it comes to the insidious nature of fake news. Thankfully, Nikita Salovich is on the case, studying how we cope with fake news. PS- early in the episode, Nikita says Chicago is the capital of Illinois as an example of a false fact. In this case, we're using fact to mean a statement that can be proven true or false.

Have you ever returned home after a loud concert, only to notice everything sounds muffled and a bit more quiet? In those moments, I usually think of my mom chastising me by saying that I can't recover lost hearing. But thanks to Amrita's research, there's a chance we may be able to recover our hearing after all!
