You exist. You are a human being. The sun shines for you, and your eyebrows are thick, natural and amazing.

@drgarybennett @MaryPatMcMahon1 splitting the pole — separating from your walkingmate to walk on either side of a street sign — is extremely bad luck *unless* you say bread and butter. #facts

@drgarybennett @DrDoriRD you'll have to hop into the full talk to learn the rest. thanks again to my kind & patient mentors and all the rest at the duke global digital health science center. @ me or email me to chat about this! #SBM2021

[christina hopkins, phd @chopchopkins]

hey #sbm2021, let's talk about my research spotlight this year - "Weight bias internalization in treatment-seeking adults with obesity: results from a factorial RCT" which i worked on with my lovely colleagues and mentors @drgarybennett and @DrDoriRD (1/4ish)

[christina hopkins, phd @chopchopkins]

@drgarybennett @DrDoriRD spoiler: they did! folks with high internalized weight bias lost more weight when exposed to treatment components that highlighted intrinsic motivation and also when they received less frequent contact from the study team.

[christina hopkins, phd @chopchopkins]

@DrMichelePatel great job, shelley!! it was so good to see your face and hear more about this work.

[christina hopkins, phd @chopchopkins]

friends at #sbm2021 - ask me your questions about weight bias in obesity treatment! watch me attempt to make eye contact with a virtual audience! it’ll be a good time. popcorn required.

a cool thing about grad school is getting to watch the people you love find their way while you do the same. watching @madfarb become a bona fide poet has been a pure, bright light. read this: https://t.co/TOkiOW0f8J
