Hi all - given the current state of this country and this platform, I will be no longer checking or posting here for the foreseeable future. Come find me on LinkedIn.

Now accepting symposia, workshop, tutorials, and participant research studies for consideration at #ASB2025! Review the guidelines and deadlines on the website and we'll see you in Pittsburgh in August! asbweb.org/asb-2025/

Fabulous talk and well deserved recognition @AnaMaPorras and @LatinXinBME at #BMES2024 ! Congratulations!

We’re ready for #BMES2024! Visit @WPI_BME at Booth 737 to learn about our graduate programs and REU program. We also have current faculty, staff, and students here to chat with you! Great to see Kate and Bry this morning!

Do you ever wonder which multi segment foot model is the right one for your research question? This and other questions that keep us up at night are now answered! Plus, we have detailed instructions on creating these models using @cmotioninc V3D. Read on:sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@WPI_BME student Elizabeth Bowman have a great presentation at #ASB2024 @AmSocBiomech on some results from our exoskeleton walking clinical trial.

#ASB2024 is such a great conference! It’s been great learning cool stuff about muscles from @UvaM3Lab and @MoBLNCSU and catching up with some @WPI_BME /lab alums like Ying Fang!

@rosshm16 Haven’t you considered the tremendous amount of fluid drag caused by a watch?

So proud of @WPI_BME student Elie Bowman! Looking forward to reconnecting at @AmSocBiomech next week! You’re making @WPI look great!

🎤😎Allow us to reintroduce ourselves: We're the Black Biomechanists Association; a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting and enriching Black biomechanists in their academic and professional careers. Free membership! Allies welcome! bit.ly/BBA-membership

Apply for Faculty Scholars award - an NIH travel support for faculty new to ASB! Priority for: 1st-time attendees to #ASB2024, 🌎-underrepresented regions, Non-research-intensive schools, New research topics to ASB & others! 📢Deadline: July 2 Apply@ go.wisc.edu/wnwf14

@MIOBLab This is awesome news- congratulations Nic!!!

Thrilled to announce I was recently awarded the inaugural Fessenden Chair at UVM!🎉This is a development chair for Associate Professors in BME based on a kind donation from Karl and Mary Fessenden. I’m honored to receive this professorship and will make Karl and Mary proud!

Academia is hard 🔬👨‍🏫🫴. Sometimes the hard work pays off. I've had a good run lately, starting with being promoted w/ tenure! Incredibly grateful for the support of my wonderful colleagues at UVM and friends and the dedication of my advisors @UvaM3Lab and @AEAndersonORL. 1/🧵

@pcfino And this is why I truly believe that within the top 30% we should just move to a lottery along with some discretion from the PO who can work to balance the overall portfolio

@l_giangregorio @GoodLifeFitness It starts early - my teenage (athlete) daughter won’t go to the local gym to lift because it’s full of (grunting, stinky) guys.

An interesting observation at the @GoodLifeFitness morning: lots of middle aged and older adults strength training, which is awesome. But the weight room was all men. The women were in a class with bands and tiny hand weights. Except me, and a woman lifting with a trainer.

@lenzetal @KarenKrugerPhD @UofUOrtho @UtahBME @NIH_NIAMS Hurray!! Great news!

Very excited for my first NIH R01 grant as PI investigating foot and ankle form and function in adults with cerebral palsy. I'm grateful for this collaboration with @KarenKrugerPhD! Thanks to @UofUOrtho @UtahBME @NIH_NIAMS for all the support! medicine.utah.edu/orthopaedics/n…

@tylerjmcneill @CornellBME @mchvdm Congratulations Tyler!!

Commencement has me feeling extra thankful for the @CornellBME community. Special shoutouts to the people who kept me sane in grad school, the friends who drove 6 hours in the middle of the night to surprise me, and my incredible advisor @mchvdm for her continuous support!

@AmSocBiomech @MoBLNCSU @wendymmurrayphd @UvaM3Lab there we go :)

@AmSocBiomech Can’t think of a better lineup! Congratulations @MoBLNCSU @wendymmurrayphd and Dr.Blemker!!

Recognizing brilliance in #biomechanics research. Congratulations to the ASB Award winners! asbweb.org/award-winners-…

@BiomechanicsDay @WPI @WPI_BME Here it is in action! The platform calculates jump height, velocity and power, lights up, and shoots a ball into the air! Separately, you can jump to touch the rings. Some kids were even interested in the data :)

@Troy_BiomechLab @WPI @WPI_BME Can you tell us a bit about the jumping demo, please?

What a great day on @WPI campus! Our @WPI_BME students all presented their senior projects today. I am proud of my two design teams. This group created a cool outreach demo (involving jumping) that they presented as part of @BiomechanicsDay — with great success.
