💭 The memories of #ORS2023 started even before the meeting kickoff this year during #ORSOpenDoor 🙏 @UTSouthwestern STARS, @mmcgeelawrence, Paula Hernandez of @utswortho & sponsor @Arthrex #FutureEngineers #FutureScientists #FutureOrtho

From gearhead ⚙️ @TU_Engineering to bonehead 🦴@CityCollegeNY our #BlackExcellence of BME is @karl_j_lewis, Asst Prof @CornellBME. His lab studies the interplay of mechanical cues and biological changes in musculoskeletal tissues. Submit our next feature: bitly.ws/zCMp

So cool to be included in this series, thanks @BlackInBME !!

PSA: Bone has extremely dynamic embedded cells (osteocytes) about which we know little compared to other cell types. Most people I meet don’t know this … we need better PR! #orthotwitter #ScienceTwitter

Over 70% of youth athletes drop out of sports before they enter high school.. The reasons according to the kids themselves: Too much pressure to win, poor coaching, being forced to “choose” and specialize in a single sport at too early of an age, too expensive for parents, team/club politics, etc. If you Google “Youth Sports Drop Out” You’ll find multiple sources & studies.

@EvanBuettmann @NAP_Lab @ors_tendon Thanks, Evan! See you soon in Dallas 😎

Currently under the weather, flight delayed, and my laptop crashed, BUT I am excited to (hopefully) be presenting at #ORS2023 as a NIRA finalist! Catch my talk this Sat 4:10-4:18 PM in the Mechanisms, Treatments, & Therapies Session (Room Westwood) and poster (#0084) this week!

Ready to get some Dallas kids excited about MSK Science! #ORSOpenDoor @ORSsociety

@NuelleSportsMD @NaanDerthaal @DrMarecek @ChipRoutt @rkh_md @otatrauma Now you’ve described my residency experience- and tapping every single screw as well

@NaanDerthaal @DrMarecek @ChipRoutt @rkh_md @otatrauma Imagine if they had to put in all those screws by hand…

Just because you have holes for screws doesn’t mean you have to use them all. I don’t know what’s more impressive/disturbing; that someone would do this or that they thought it was a great idea worth posting on social media! Thoughts @DrMarecek @ChipRoutt @rkh_md @otatrauma

@RuchamaCharles Congratulations! It’s going to be a challenging but worthwhile five years - looking forward to hopefully meeting you on the journey!
