We are recruiting a postdoc for an exciting multi-disciplinary project that explores the use of quantum sensors to measure muscle behaviour - looking for someone with skills in ultrasound, mocap, and EMG - funded by QLD Government's Quantum 2032 Challenge uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/uqcare...

Big congrats to Anna Corman for winning Best Doctoral Podium at RMASB! 🏆

She crushed her talk on how personalizing musculoskeletal models—esp. muscle strength—affects joint contact force estimates and injury risk.

#MinesME PhD candidate Mike Miller shared his analysis of ankle muscle function in sit-to-walk using musculoskeletal modeling.

Great energy from the RMASB crowd—already excited for next year!

😃 A new article published in J Biomech by van der Kruk shows a large disparity in female representation within Journal of Biomechanics studies published in 2024. A concern term biasmechanics is proposed to encourage efforts to address it.

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025!

Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide!

Me to all of my students for any document they write:
"Avoid abbreviations. This is really bad for the working memory of the reviewers and impairs readability"

Some folks have asked, given recent news, “how do I show my friends/family the impact of NSF?” We have some easy Fact Sheets for you! Here’s a brief thread about this website: new.nsf.gov/about/fact-s... which hosts a ton of useful one-pagers.

I would really love it if the amazing and talented scientists who were arbitrarily and illegally fired would run for office.

I am running out of words. I am so sorry. For everyone. Thank you Kath for your service and commitment to the community.

💯 agree with this. Do it!
