We ended this year's series of #ENGR3566 guest presentations on a high note with Dr. @cfirminger from @UCalgary & @McCaigInstitute talking about his studies of tendon strain in cycling!

The McMaster grad studies reference system needs to chill with their reminders.

Happy #IronRing day to our @LUEngrCompSci students & congratulations to all those who will be taking part in the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer later today.

@thatdslrguy @EmmaNeupert @Jon_White2 @UoPSportScience @thatdslrguy & @rebeccaefbarone : I'm not able to share their slides, but I've linked the article that one student found which proved very popular with the class. It should hopefully give you a bit more info. <theengineer.co.uk/content/news/d…>

@WBLievers @EmmaNeupert @Jon_White2 @UoPSportScience Hi Brent! Being an F1 fan, is it possible to access the slideshow or the presentation? The screenshots you attached seemed interesting to me. And, no issues if you can't. Thanks.

Enjoyed having Dr. Chris Mills, Dr. @EmmaNeupert, & @Jon_White2 join us virtually from @UoPSportScience yesterday. Two great talks on seat design for F1 drivers & the effects of track bends/inclination on running biomechanics! #ENGR3566

Another great pair of guest lectures this morning in #ENGR3566 from Andrew Koshyk & Michael Kuczynski (@mkuczyns14) ! We learned about the fatigue behaviour of equine bone, the use of dynamic CT to understand thumb motion in OA, & how interdisciplinary biomedical research can be.

Feel a little guilty eating such a friendly radish.

Started my Friday by checking my spam folder for false positives and noticed I received some messages from some fairly famous folks, including Dr. Oz & Kate Winslet! Nice try scammers. Katie would never call me “Dr. Lievers” and we normally message on WhatsApp.

Grateful to Dr. @giacomo_valle, currently at @UChicago, for his incredible guest lecture this morning about the state of the art in providing sensory feedback in prosthetics. Amazing stuff! #ENGR3566

Registration Now Open!!!

The boy and his mom have been busy prepping for a bake sale. Got to drop him & his baking off at school, but didn't get to sample his wares.

Slow exam night at the gym. I have half the place for just my students. #ENGR1056

@PresD_MSVU I have never visited the metro Schenectady area, so I am not sure how that affects my analysis, but did you see the beautiful 🐘 photo?

I had an 8:30am class this term & tried using “attendance selfies” to incentivize showing up (i.e., when the animal pic comes up, snap a selfie, submit for marks). There's was an obvious decline over the term, but I still averaged almost 84% of students! I'm calling that a win.

Thanks to whoever set up this memorial in the atrium to the 14 women killed in the 1989 École Polytechnique attack. #dec6 #rememberthe14

As per tradition, p(r)izes were handed out today in #ENGR1501 to the top 3 teams in our “Ring-Pong 2023” engineering design challenge! Always interested to see the order in which the pies get selected. This year it was: 🥇apple 🥈pecan 🥉cherry Which would you choose first?

This is an exception to the "clean the chalk boards before you leave" standard I wish more people would follow. #ClassroomChalkboardArt

@jboerckel Are you interested in standard graphs on x-y axes or something more sophisticated? Do you have an examples of the data visualization you'd like to do, ones you'd rate as beautiful and effective?

Help! I am looking for open-source software for beautiful and effective data visualization. Looking for something between ease of Prism and versatility of R.

@ShahFA_ Maybe not *everyone* needed it, but EVH at least used his own invention.

@WBLievers Wonder if it was the illustration that got the patent approved, because I’m quite certain that the invention itself is rather pointless, because… youtu.be/nWgF3WUWSkU?fe…

We covered an introduction to intellectual property this morning in #ENGR1501, which allowed me to share the greatest patent figure ever created with my students. U.S. Patent 4,656,917 granted to Edward L. Van Halen.
