POSTDOC JOB OPENING. My lab at @mossresearch.bsky.social has an opening for a postdoc fellow to work with @aaronlwong.bsky.social and me on an NSF-funded research program studying mechanisms of sensory plasticity that accompany adaptive motor learning. The full posting is below. Please share!

Webinar alert! Our next webinar will be held on April 30. @ericdugan.bsky.social will present an update on the standards committee work. Register here: redcap.nchri.org/surveys/?s=M...
This webinar is free to anyone, and the recording is available to members.

😃 A new article published in J Biomech by Wang et al shows that openCap aligns well with marker-based methods for sagittal hip and knee angles in patients walking towards the camera. However, joint angle errors suggest caution when making clinical decisions.
