🚨 AIMBE calls on the scientific community to urge Congress to ensure timely passage of the FY2026 budget 👇 Strong, sustained funding for our nation's health and science agencies is essential for economic prosperity, U.S. global competitiveness, and public heath. takeaction.io/aimbe/protec...

Please repost! We have an open rank, tenure-line faculty position in biomechanics in the School of Kinesiology at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. At U-M we have great colleagues, exceptional resources, and biomechanics can be found all across the campus. #BiomechSky

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY: Motor Learning and Neuromotor Ethics Our Reality Labs EMG Foundational Research team is pleased to announce an RFP! The topic is on motor learning for EMG-based HCI and the related neuromotor ethics. Submissions are due September 1! www.meta.com/blog/reality...

My lab is seeking postdoctoral researchers to work on research in robotic prosthetics. We welcome applicants with expertise in any of the following areas: biomechanics, wearable robotics, motor control/learning, human factors, or physical human-robot interactions. nrel.bme.unc.edu/2025/07/new-...

At a time when broadening participation in science and engineering is under attack in the U.S., this generous donation from the De Luca Foundation will support the long term goals of the @amsocbiomech.bsky.social to expand access to biomechanics education and research. 🧪 #BiomechSky

AIMBE is proud to be among the 53 scientific societies and organizations who signed onto @aas.org's letter to congressional leaders urging them to support the National Science Foundation (NSF) in light of proposed reorganizations and budget cuts 👇 Full letter available here: aas.org/sites/defaul...

If you care about the prosperity and safety that the US scientific enterprise provides, please reach out to your representatives. This proposed budget isn’t a done deal yet.

My quote of the day We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. Elie Wiesel

Saying that the US should let other countries take their turns at being the global leader in biomedical research really makes no sense at all. Sure. While we’re at it, let’s also stop being leaders in terms of economic influence and military might. Kudos to @jeremymberg.bsky.social’s quick reply

International students upend their lives to join American science, bringing their novel insights that drive innovation. Now, they are being illegally targeted by Trump, because Harvard won't back down. Classic bully behavior. We Stand Up for International Students. www.npr.org/2025/05/22/n...

This week, AIMBE hosted @helenhuang.bsky.social (Fellow '21) and her lab members, Dr. Varun Nalam & Brendan Driscoll, from NCSU/UNC! They showcased their work on robotic prosthetics to congressional staffers during an NSF Expo organized by the Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF) 🦾🤖

Check out a new TSNRE Paper! The authors investigated how the brain and muscles respond to treadmill walking with bodyweight support in two environments: underwater and on land. Read the paper here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10981822?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social

I had exactly the same reaction and feeling today.

Staff members at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) were told on 30 April to “stop awarding all funding actions until further notice,” according to an email seen by Nature. https://go.nature.com/44Ugf9V

We're hiring #undergrads interested in #neural #engineering for paid internships! Join our lab this summer and participate in cutting edge #research and a variety of professional development activities. Applications due March 3. More info at rnel.pitt.edu/undergraduat...

Made some slides for scientists to talk about what's been happening & what we should do next. There are probably many people better qualified than me to talk about these issues. If that's you, please, please, please consider holding some virtual advocacy training sessions for researchers this week.

The latest from your government, brought to you by @science.org.bsky.social NIH slashes overhead payments for research, sparking outrage | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

New Year's resolutions: read more, think more, and no email (though that's impossible).

We just reposted our 2-year Research Scientist position at UNC Chapel HIll. Experience in Biplane Videoradiography for Orthopaedic Biomechanics? We want to talk to you! Spread the word! unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/292...

I am impressed by the signal quality. Often, we don't place EMG electrodes that distally because the muscle mass is limited. Would the wristband be available for researchers like me to try?

Cool study by a PhD student and two undergraduates in my lab: Soft tissue can absorb surprising amounts of energy during knee exoskeleton use. (2024) W. Sebastian Barrutia, Ada Yumiceva, Mai-Ly Thompson and Daniel P. Ferris. JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY INTERFACE doi: doi.org/10.1098/rsif...

I am actively recruiting several PhD students to join my lab at UMass Amherst (you can apply as ME, BME, or CICS) to work on wearable robotics for walking/running and neuromotor control (primitives for action generation and perception)! Shoot me an email if you're interested!

Please share widely! Opening for an Assistant Professor in Neuroengineering at UNC-Chapel Hill & NCSU Joint BME & Neurosurgery - part of cluster hire - interest in neuromodulation, translational, neural interfaces to record/stimulate, substance use disorder or other conditions tinyurl.com/yc2tt35z

The IEEE TNSRE announces a Special Issue on Modeling in Neurorehabilitation, inspired by last year’s NSF DARE Conference sites.usc.edu/dare2023/. Led by guest editors David Lin, @allenjl12.bsky.social, and other DARE Fellows, we invite manuscript contributions from researchers working in this area!

Just logged on here after a while and realized many have been here already. 🦋 feels like a fresh start.
