June 12, 2007 - Trisha Gura, author of the recently released book Lying in Weight.
In this groundbreaking new book, science journalist Trisha Gura, Ph.D., explodes the myth that those who suffer from eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, are primarily teenage girls. In reality, these diseases linger from adolescence or emerge anew in the lives of adult women in ways that we are only starting to recognize.
June, 2007 - Lisa Howard, WLS candidate
Lisa is many things, a great friend, wonderful mother of two young girls, and hilariously cynical. She kept me awake many a night when we used to work third-shift technical support together several years ago with her witty commentary and DVD player. So, I asked Lisa if she would like to be featured in a Q&A for this site, to share her experiences with weight and weight loss, and what led her to choose weight-loss surgery.
Nov. 16, 2007 - Gina Kolata, author of Rethinking Thin.
Gina Kolata is an award-winning science and medicine reporter for the New York Times and the author of many books. Her latest is Rethinking Thin, which challenges our beliefs on body weight and weight loss. Kolata shares with us some of her thoughts on the book and in writing it.
April 28, 2008 - Kristin ‘Lou’ Herout, graduate student and professional photographer
The 23-year-old Dekalb, Ill. native replicated advertisements from Cosmopolitan, Elle and other women’s fashion magazines using not industry standard size-zero models, but rather “curvy” and “realistic” women to accompany a scholarly paper on the subject. I caught up with Herout as she prepares to move to San Francisco this summer to complete her master’s degree in photography at the Academy of Art University to talk about her provocative project.
