This is an open rank clinical-track position in sports biomechanics at the University of Michigan. This is a largely teaching-focused position and we have outstanding resources to support teaching and student learning. #BiomechSky

It's like reliving the uncertainty, and then relief + exhilaration of finding Ruby or Emerald Weapon with your golden chocobo, catching Missingno. off the coast of Cinnabar Island, or finding your other favorite easter egg for the first time.

Camping in Utah is like video games in the late 90s. You hear info about a special spot, find vague directions online from a sketchy website, spend hours following unmarked roads wondering if this is a waste of time, and then get to the destination and it lives up to the hype.

Bye baggy! Hope you find your dad (or mom)!

I just saw some stranger's day get ruined. It will be hours until they know, and there is nothing I can do. Still, I feel sad for them. #lostbag

Congrats Jason!

I know of one senior academic who once replied to similar comments with a "Peer reviewers should assess the rigor of the science, not my stylistic choices in writing"

NCMRR-Funded Funded Projects

The number of NEW, competing grants issued by the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) in FY25 (FY24 totals for reference):
R01s: 2 (20)
R21s: 0 (7)
F31s: 1 (6)
F32s: 1 (3)
K01s: 1 (1)

5 new grants almost half-way through = the uncertainty from CRs and administrative changes.

We are recruiting trainees for the Integrative Movement Sciences Summer Institute. Students will gain research experience in dynamic muscular control of movement across organizational scales from molecular mechanisms to whole-body movement in complex environments.

Alfredo's Pizza or Pizza by Alfredo?

Sometimes your former lab members plant easter eggs that you discover years later.

Like creating custom slack messages that cue off the word 'pizza'

After, I frequently joked that I'm happy to give advice on how to navigate the unfortunate circumstances if your granting agency suddenly disappears overnight. It got many laughs, because people recognized how absurd the situation was.

I'm devastated more people will now share a similar experience
