(1/2) After 6 years of planning, #NACOB2022 finally happened last week and was a huge success! Great to share our team’s research and socialize with new and existing colleagues and friends within our amazing city #Ottawa. @NACoBiomechs

Congrats to Dr. Matthew Mavor on successfully defending his dissertation last night! Thank you to his committee and chair for their time and excellent questions and feedback: @tladoyle, @aclouthier, @AdamoKristi, Dr. Blaine Hoshizaki, and Dr. Jacinthe Savard.

Rising from #50 in 2017 according to QS rankings of best institutions in the world to study #Sport…to #25 in 2022, we could not be more proud as a lab to be a part of that incredible achievement @uOttawa 🎉👏🏼 #GeeGees

Just a regular Friday night in the Graham household! #FutureBiomechanist #WomenInStem #GoLittleRockstar @KanataHighlands

Our most sincere congratulations to original GrahamLab member @gwynethross on adding Dr. to her name! We are so proud of your perseverance over the past 2 years, your progress as a researcher, and the quality of the work you produced! #phd #biomechanics #MachineLearning #PhDone!

Big congratulations goes out to Matthew Mavor (Twitterless, unfortunately) for changing that “PhD Student” email signature to “PhD Candidate”! 🎉

Closing off this week by extending a HUGE congratulations to our newly minted MSc, Mina Maksimovic who recently defended her thesis: “The effect of vertebral body tethering on spine motion in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis”. We are so proud of you!! 🙌🏼

Congratulations to the organizers of #CSB2021, and to all of our colleagues from coast to coast - we can’t wait to see you in person again! Planning is ramping up for #NACOB2022, so save the date and see everyone in Canada’s capital 🎉

And @CABailey_ also presenting work in the 3:45 PM poster session:   Are Changes in Muscle Activation Variability Related to Muscle Deoxygenation and Swelling During Elbow Flexion Fatigue in Young Adult Males and Females? #CSB2021

@CABailey_ presenting work from his PhD at 11:15 AM (EDT): Stage 2 - Muscle session:   Effect of dynamic elbow flexion fatigue on muscle activation, oxygenation, and thickness in young adult males and females With @ProfCote & Sanghoon Yoon

@Gwyneth_Ross1 at 11:15 AM (EDT) on Stage 4 - Sports Session: Classifying Elite from Novice Athletes Using Simulated Wearable Sensor Data With @DowlingBrit , Dr. Steven Fischer (@BiomechErgoLab) and Dr. Nikolaus Troje (@NTroje / @BioMotionLab)

And rounding out our poster presenters for the day, Mina Maksimovic (Session 4): The Effect of Vertebral Body Tethering on Spine Range of Motion in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Pilot Study - with @ShawnBeaudette , and Kevin Smit, James Jarvis & Andrew Tice from @CHEO

Victor Chan (Session 4): Detecting Fatigue-Related Changes in Spine Motion Using Subject-Specific Composite Indices and Wearable Sensors - with @ShawnBeaudette , Kenneth Smale, and @kristenbeange

Matt Mavor (Session 1): A framework to create morphable models of military-based movements - with @aclouthier, Kristina Gruevski, Mohammadhossein Akhavanfar, and Thomas Karakolis

Kristen (Session 4): Augmented IMU Signal-Processing and Fusion for Clinical Assessment of Spine Movement - with @AdrianDCChan

First up, catch @aclouthier tomorrow on stage 3 at 11:30 AM EST (Q&A - 12:25 PM EST) : “Modelling geometric differences associated with lumbar spine pathology using partial least squares statistical shape modelling"

Happy #WomenInScienceDay! We are continually inspired by the talent both within our lab and beyond. Here’s to smashing stereotypes and breaking barriers!

While 2020 was not kind to research, there were some silver linings! Congrats Wantuir Junior on completing your MSc - DEVELOPMENT & VALIDATION OF NOVEL METHODS TO TRACK THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPINE KINEMATICS DURING DYNAMIC TRUNK MOVEMENTS USING A TIME-OF-FLIGHT RGB-D CAMERA
