Stoked to see our study out in final form! Big kudos to @jonathanamichaels.bsky.social for driving this along for the past 5 years.

Hey y'all, when/where is the SfN Neurorehabilitation Social?

Get your panel and talk submission to NCM Japan! The meeting is in Kobe in April 2026. Hope to see you there!

You have to read @kelseytea.bsky.social excellent work on dexterity in deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. A powerful example of cross species comparisons to study principles of motor control ✅

wow, I'm proud of PhD student Jake Stephens' work with Tim Cope and me on understanding multi sensory proprioceptive integration on this work.

Our department started a podcast to let people know about our research and the impact that it has on the public! Please have a listen and subscribe to the series! Also available on Apple podcast, Spotify, and Transistor, www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

New nationwide data links TCE exposure to higher Parkinson’s risk. Trichloroethylene or TCE is a widely used industrial solvent and environmental contaminant that can be found in air, soil and water. New paper: TCE associated w/ increased risk of Parkinson’s in older adults across USA.

Congrats @vulcnethologist.bsky.social on a great paper! This a cool technology that is the future of tracking motion within the body during behavior. @movementscience.bsky.social this might be what we need for tracking muscles and tendon during movement!

Sign the petition to restore eligibility of 2nd year grad students to the NSF GRFP. They are being robbed of the opportunities to advance their innovative science. @chubicki.bsky.social

Our new podcast is out about why biomedical science is so important to our communities: Holy Shift! Biomedical Breakthroughs Shaping Tomorrow Please Share! Our first episode is Dr. Mike Davis on repairing congenital heart defects in children. ❣️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrvO...

My colleagues in BME started a podcast to explain the importance of biomedical engineering research and why we need to prioritize keeping these impactful innovations funded. Go Zach and Erin!

Emory Biology is hiring a neuroscientist! We have a great supportive and innovative neuroscience and neural engineering community here!

Come be my colleague! Lots of exciting science, fantastic students and supportive colleagues. Emory University Biology Department tenure-track assistant professor position in neuroscience. share.google/945Jko4W1MTA.... Please feel free to retweet and share widely.

Check out our latest paper today in Nature: “Goal specific hippocampal inhibition gates learning” www.nature.com/articles/s41... By Nuri Jeong, Xiao Zheng, Abby Paulson, Steph Prince and colleagues.

We are excited to announce our official partnership with @indivisible.org for the National Day of Action on April 5th! Stand Up for Science says: HANDS OFF OUR SCIENCE! #standupforscience #handsoffourscience Find and register for an event near you: handsoff2025.com?utm_source=s...

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

saw this piece being shared around on the bird site and sharing it here cuz it's so good genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

We stood up for science! Hoping to keep making our voices heard.

Don't miss our #ASNR2025 session on #AI and computational modeling to diagnose and treat functional mobility deficits! We can't wait to hear the latest from Drs. @lenating.bsky.social, @jlucasmckay.bsky.social, @peabody124.bsky.social, Trisha Kesar, & Hyeok Kwon! 🧠🔄 🧠📈 🧪 www.asnr.com/i4a/pages/in...

I don’t see an end to this problem. Is there a way to challenge the fag order on NIH so grant review can proceed? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/s...

@jexpbiol.bsky.social Special Issue is now out... Integrating Biomechanics, Energetics and Ecology in Locomotion Was fun to be part of this paper led by Glen Lichtwark "Integrating muscle energetics into biomechanical models to understand variance in the cost of movement" tinyurl.com/2xvkwbra

This will send shock waves through academia. It’s not just about the students but also the labs trying to keep research programs going. A personnel gap could set things back significantly.

This is going to affect a lot of people in the field, from professors to postdoc and students.

AIMBE has posted a public statement on the impact of federal policy changes on biomedical research: aimbe.org/advocate/wri... Above, we have also developed an advocacy letter for members of the medical & biological engineering community to send to their congressional representatives on this matter.

The inability to make public announcements has effectively frozen all grant review activity by the NIH.

I’m inviting you to attend a conference May 7-8 at Georgia Tech called InterfaceNeuro (interfaceneuro.org), targeting the intersection of neuroscience, neuroengineering, clinical/translational research, neurotech industry, and individuals with lived experiences. Please share! #neuroskyence 🧠🧪

🤩🤩 this is going to be amazing!

Having an evolutionary perspective is absolutely critical to understanding the brain! If you haven’t heard Paul Cisek talk about it, here’s your chance!

Amazing work! I was once asked by my biomechanics class whether I’d like to fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses. I tried to explain scaling to them and why I’d definitely pick the horse-sized duck. Can y’all run that simulation for me please?

Congrats @taylorjmdick.bsky.social @cjclemente.bsky.social Can we get Friedl on Bluesky?

663 days since the senseless tragedy that took An, we present a manuscript that reports some of the discoveries that she left us. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

More jobs for biomechanists!

For our 1st #FollowFriday of the #NewYear, follow ASNR Board Member @karuneshganguly.bsky.social to learn more about his research using #sleep, #engineering, #neuromodulation, & brain-computer interfaces (#BCI) to augment motor function! #neurorehabilitation #rehabilitation #neuroscience 🧪

Continuing the #SICB2025 thread, we also have two talks about muscle modeling and muscle spindles on Tuesday.

As #SICB2025 is in Atlanta, it'll be one of my rare visits to my first scientific conference when it was American Society of Zoologists. Here are the posters we will be presenting Sunday afternoon about muscle spindles and golgi tendon organs by Surabhi Simha and Jake Stephens with Sawicki and Cope.

If you're headed to #SICB2025, Tuthill/ @bingbrunton.bsky.social lab graduate student extraordinaire Raveena Chhibber will be presenting a talk on her PhD project in the primo slot of Sunday morning at 9:00 AM.

Its @kjakubowski.bsky.social's first paper from the lab! Delayed center of mass feedback decomposes multiple sources of joint torque in response to perturbations. One bump creates a sequence of intrinsic feedback, subcortical, and then cortical sensorimotor feedback joint torque contributions.

Why is recovering from a loss of balance sometimes harder when we overthink it? In our new EEG study (now out in Jneuro!), we show that consciously controlling balance dampens the cortical response to a sudden loss of balance (and balance gets worse)! www.jneurosci.org/content/44/4...

I’m giving a career talk for SfN Online this afternoon at 1pm EST. Free for members or $15. neuronline.sfn.org/scientific-r...

I'm happy that my debut post is to announce that our long-awaited Gait Signatures paper is finally out. Kudos to the perseverance and talent of Taniel Winner for driving this collaboration with @gordonberman.bsky.social and Trisha Kesar. Individual differences in movement are real!
