@JoannaReeves19 @BiomechanicsDay @lululemon @ScienceFootwear Great work @JoannaReeves19!!

Thank you @lululemon and @ScienceFootwear for the award for our work on the footwear needs of older women in court sports

The hardest part of this job is saying goodbye to great people. ⁦@cfirminger⁩ ⁦@SmallStrain⁩ ⁦@M_Baggaley⁩ are all on to great things. Can’t wait to see what’s next for ⁦@ol_bruce⁩ at ⁦@Stanford⁩ this fall.

My friends on the Footwear Innovation team @lululemon are hiring! A great early career role for someone with a engineering, sports tech or similar background 👇 careers.lululemon.com/en_US/careers/…

@VIUniversity Yes Mike! Congrats!

Award-winning researcher Dr. Michael Asmussen is joining #VIU! He focuses on the structure, function & neural control of the foot & ankle during movement in healthy, injured & diseased states and how to translate this into innovative healthcare solutions: news.viu.ca/vancouver-isla…

@BarstoolChief Americans refusing to adopt the metric system makes me irrationally angry

Canadians and English people pronouncing the letter Z as “zed” makes me irrationally angry.

@edwardswb I’ll never forget your reply to “why does cos(0) = 1?” “Because math” 😂😂

I’m generally pretty good with mental math, until you put me in a lecture hall with >250 students. Then I’m useless.

@edwardswb @M_Baggaley @uofcknes @McCaigInstitute Dr. Baggs! Way to go buddy.

Look who passed their PhD defence! Hugely proud of Dr. @M_Baggaley. It’s been a privilege! @uofcknes @McCaigInstitute

@edayrun @rosshm16 That’s nightmare fuel

@rosshm16 I hit over a mug of hot chocolate onto my laptop with ~6wk left in my masters. It died. Didn’t have my matlab code backed up or manuscript🫠🫠

@ucsfmskcenter @KelseyHCollins @UCSF @UCSFOrthosurg @ucsfmicrobiome Amazing! Happy for you @KelseyHCollins !

📢@UCSFmskcenter welcomes new faculty Dr. Kelsey Collins @KelseyHCollins to @UCSF as Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery @UCSFOrthoSurg! Dr. Collins' lab will focus on #crosstalk and novel therapies for OA/RA. @ucsfmicrobiome Learn more: tiny.ucsf.edu/msknews061322

@JCashaback I’ve always admired your figure-making prowess!

I'll start. This was a fun figure to make.

My academic hobby is making nice figures and I'm always looking for good ideas. Feel free to post your favourite figure that you have made in the comments below!

@rosshm16 I think @edwardswb has some insight into this!

I'm honored to have my first blog published by IWB - it's a simple but important topic for anyone using a motion capture lab! intlwomxninbiomech.wixsite.com/website/post/t…

@zuribruce Have fun!

Off to Europe tomorrow for a whirlwind overnight tour. First up speaking at a Finnish Research Group Seminar biomedical.eng.unimelb.edu.au/integrative-ca… then to the UK for the ImagingBioPro (IBP) Network Webinar biomedical.eng.unimelb.edu.au/integrative-ca…
