Em Abbott, PhD

New review paper out on "Perturbing the muscle work loop paradigm to unravel the neuromechanics of unsteady locomotion" in @J_Exp_Biol! Fun collaboration with @SimonSponberg, @abbomily, and @gregory_sawicki Read it here: doi.org/10.1242/jeb.24…

🚨Summer field technician job alert🚨 We're hiring 2 field research assistants to collect plant demographic data in the mountains of Colorado early/mid Jun-end Aug Full ad & appl: jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/180419 Review begins March 17(!), continuing until filled plz RT 🧵w/ more (1/n)

We have approximately 36,000 specimens of #reptiles and #amphibians just waiting for a researcher to pose a question. Come visit or check us out on @VertNetOrg.

Interested in thinking about how computational models can improve rehab? If so, the "NSF-DARE Conf. on Computational Modeling for Neurorehabilitation" is for you! USC (Los Angeles) March 3-4. Abstract submissions due Jan. 15th learn more here: dare2023.usc.edu

It's my birthday today, and I can't imagine a better present than asking folks to join me in imaging how we can transform science so that aligns with our values to be a place where all of us can truly thrive. Please read & share our paper--out today in eLife!

Looking forward to presenting: Glycinergic neural pathways mediate stimulation-evoked inhibition of the bladder in urethane-anesthetized rats. Sunday, Nov 13th, 8am-12pm. Posterboard Number: BB4. #sfn22

I am looking for a postdoc (two years) with a background in sensorimotor control interested in doing research at the intersection of sensorimotor control and neurophysiology. If interested, please get in touch. RTs appreciated.

We are hiring! A faculty position in Neural/Rehab Engineering at UNC/NC State BME @jointbme Please help to spread the word @FranzBiomech @AdamHantman @shawnmgomez

@FlwrEcoEvo Goals!! We have two baby paw paws and a persimmon now too!

Ever wonder how bad your mouse/rat knee joint kinematics are due to skin motion? We have a simple new IR+subq tattoo method to get accurate data! doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…

@TheDoctaZ Not sure if this is helpful, but UPenn had Postdoc Editorial Assoc. that offered intermural help to Temple postdocs when I was there in 2020: med.upenn.edu/bpc/committees…

Are there any grant editing groups? Exchange websites? Like if I'm drafting a grant can I swap with another writer (of not necessarily the same grant)?

Posting job openings on behalf of the twitterless Warren Grill, my postdoc mentor. A position definitely worth considering if you are serious about neuromodulation development and translation.

Hi #ESA2022 #CSEE2022! First time presenter here. Tomorrow (Tuesday) I am presenting my talk on variations in #bacterial traits across habitats and phylogeny. Swing by if you want to hear it or meet up! COS-82 - Biodiversity 5 Room 513C at 2:15 PM ET

Ecstatic to share my first, first-author #PhD publication released around #EarthDay! Thanks @StevenDAllison for the guidance & support! Thanks everyone who made it possible! @ucpress @UCIEEB #phdlife #muslim #microbes #climatechange #AcademicTwitter #gradschool #EarthDay2022

Undergrads—want to live & study #ecology in the Colorado Rockies this summer? @RMBLGothic is now taking applications for mentored #research & field courses: rmbl.org/students/under… Key deadlines: 15 February - @NSF #REU 1 March - financial aid/#scholarships Please rt/share!

PhD position available in the Holt Lab at UC Riverside, starting Fall 2022. Seeking students interested in skeletal muscle physiology, exercise, and life-history effects. Email me for more details!(natalie.holt@ucr.edu)

@JulioRi19649319 is blowing my mind and tastebuds with #SopeSunday. Every Sunday in #Fishtown #Philly at Les and Doreen’s Happy Tap. If you loved Last Abuela check it out!

1/ The fifth and final paper from my PhD thesis is out now in Interface! In this paper, we examined the effects of muscle mass on contraction efficiency. More details in thread ⬇️ @WakelingLab royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10…
