Made it to the 2026 ORS Annual meeting! So excited to see what new research has been done over the past year. Thanks @on_found for making this trip possible! #ors2026

Hot off the press! We (@ChristiansenLab ) surveyed orthopaedic surgeons in California to find out if/why they employ BMI cutoffs for hip/knee surgery. Is one of them bias? 🫣 https://t.co/s2oBWVnksj #ucdavis #orthopedicsurgery @UCDavisOrtho @UCDavisResearch

One week to go before the Int'l Weight Stigma Conference! I wholeheartedly suggest you grab an online ticket if you can't make it in person - this is one of my favorite groups of researchers & activists and their work is AMAZING!

HUGE congrats to @OrrScience for winning best presentation at this year’s weight stigma conference! So well deserved for an amazing presentation that had everyone laughing after 2 long days #WSC9

[Sophie Orr @OrrScience]

#wsc9 amazing stories from Shilo George at the @StigmaConf, focusing on the continued pain and trauma colonialism causes in many forms and hopeful messages about self advocacy (among many, many things!)

[Sophie Orr @OrrScience]

Excited to be at the 9th Annual Int’l Weight Stigma conference! Still time to register if you want to join virtually to see @ChristiansenLab and I present tomorrow on our @ucdavis course and BMI surgery cutoff justification study! #WSC9 @StigmaConf

Strongest possible advice to early grad students: you need outside hobbies or projects that are meaningful to you. It is dangerous for your only source of value, identity, and friendship to be academia. You absolutely have to find something else to invest in, it’s just not safe
