My research at @BU_Movement in @BUSargent focuses on structure and function in young female athletes. With this work, I hope that the diaries of our future female athletes are full of inspirational stories -- how they used movement and load not just to perform better...

I'm thrilled to share that I've been promoted to full professor. This has been a long journey, with many successes and, more often, lessons learned from losses. I'm grateful for all the mentors, advocates, and especially friends who supported me along the way.

Grateful for the opportunity to travel to Oxford and present at @YAHiRCollab. A reminder that there is a huge disconnect between who is being studied and who is being affected by cam morphology. Need for more of a focus on females! #AthletesHip24

Always great to spend a little time with the team. Celebrating recent accomplishments including an F31 being scored... and resubmitted, a paper published, a new study funded (R01!!) and started, and the transition of our lab manager to the MS in Mechanical Engineering program.

Enjoyed presenting at OARSI a study on hip shape and risk of developing hip OA. This type of work requires quite the team effort from @RintjeAgricola, @BU_Movement, @MorganLabBU and many others!
