Inside a tucked-away laboratory at @UMich, researchers recreated a fast-food restaurant—not to serve customers, but to answer a question millions of people ask themselves every day: Why do we eat differently in tempting environments than we planned?

For @um_psychology prof Ashley Gearhardt, the answer may have less to do with self-control and more to do with the environments designed to capture our attention.

New pub: 90% of dental opioid Rx in youth are for tooth extraction, even though non-opioids are equally effective. As dentists write 42% of opioid Rx to youth, ~1/3 of youth opioid Rx may be for tooth extraction. @drchadb @UM_IHPI @UMchear
