I'm looking for a postdoc to join our group. The project focuses on bone remodeling and microdamage in the fatigue fracture process. Strong interests and expertise in experimental mechanics in preclinical models is an asset. Working on formal posting but reach out if interested!

Just one more week to submit to Special Topics in Frontiers "Debates in Biomechanics and Motor Control" Submission due 5/31 (extended deadline) Details👉 frontiersin.org/research-top… @NassosBissas @DrTheoBampouras @ACS_Mitchell @FrontSportsAL
In biomechanics, I’m excited by lively debates, saucy perspectives, and evidence-based research that goes against what we thought was consensus. These topics are awesome because they…

This was a fun collaboration across so many researchers: @edwardswb @EmilyMatijevich @khassetarash @MauriceMohr5 @Subramanium_A and others in the HPL @UCalgary. I am excited to see how the next 20 yrs of research looks with such marked advancements in the past 20 yrs

#biomechanics researchers going to @ISBiomechanics: @KotaZTakahashi & I are hosting a workshop on Distal Rearfoot power. The goal is to get past the pesky "valley of despair" & apply this technique in your research. Early bird registration is extended to May 21! See you there!

Good thread for anyone transitioning from academia to industry! My advice for people making this transition is to translate code they have written in MATLAB to python so you can compare outputs. This gives you a start on those off-the-cuff commands you code with all the time!

We instructed athletes to run at the same speed; however they also ran slightly faster in the BOA with no change in subjective exertion nor heart rate. (4/n)

I loved this study because we were able to recruit a wide range of athletes (Age: 26-56), I was able to apply my knowledge from my time with @KarlZelik and @BennoNigg, and I am able to publish scientific findings from my time in the #footwear industry (5/5)
