Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

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

Managed to get my poster to Stockholm without leaving it in an airport, which for me is quite an achievement. Come and talk to me about walking over obstacles at oblique angles (or just about the excellence of Swedish cinnamon buns) this afternoon at board 3.096 #ISB2025

Awesome first keynote of #ISB2025 - @stevecollins.bsky.social on embracing human complexity in experimental design to maximise the impact of our science

Great time speaking at MMU’s Institute of Sport this week, sharing some insights into athletic performance and rehabilitation in non-human animals. Had such a fantastic time meeting their lovely team and seeing their awesome facilities. Thanks @kajdaniels.bsky.social for the invite ☺️

Something a bit different for today's MMU Institute of Sport research seminar - thanks very much to @drselfy.bsky.social from Harper-Keele Vet School and Harry Gill from MMU Natural Sciences for sharing their very cool work on athletic performance and movement assessment in horses and dogs 🤩🏇🐕

May follow ChatGPT's example and add this to the end of all my communications too

What makes exploratory research valuable? We discuss 6 factors: 1) Large and 2) Uncommon sample 3) Rigorous data collection 4) Widely used measures that 5) Reveal a coherent pattern across variables meaningful to others and 6) The potential to generate questions. doi.org/10.1080/0264...

Back in the midst of the 'relying on automatic timezone conversions and hoping for the best' time of year for scheduling international calls - because it would be far too easy if everyone's clocks changed on the same date 😅

Once again I am the only person in the lecture theatre who finds this slide funny

Submitted with HOURS to spare 🙌... Maybe I'm turning over a new leaf?! 😅

Happy 4th birthday to International Women in Biomechanics! 🥳

Interesting insights from the ISB archive shared in the latest newsletter, with Robert Norman's 1985 article 'Biomechanics - are there substantive issues?' (isbweb.org/news/isb-now...) highlighting challenges that are still relevant today. Particularly liked this observation:

ISBS members! Join us in Salzburg for a Women in Sports Biomechanics workshop focused on allyship - this is open to ALL members registered for the conference and we'd love to see you there! 16th Jul 17:30-19:30 (incl. refreshments!) Info: tinyurl.com/r52k23nf Sign up by 5th July: t.co/LVKpF95uu4

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science to all the outstanding, inspiring women I am lucky enough to work and collaborate with 😊😊

Very insightful and practically-oriented International Women in Biomechanics meeting on 'Burnout 101' yesterday - big thanks to Rachel Boehm and to the IWB monthly meetings organising committee ⭐

Logging into Manuscript Central via ORCiD appears to have acquired an extra step - I now have to log in to Web of Science via ORCiD and then into Manuscript Central via Web of Science 🙃. I am not entirely convinced that this constitutes progress 🤔.

Looking forward to this session! The focus will be on self-promotion in professional environments (why it matters, how to do it) but also on allyship and promoting the achievements of others. Open (and free) to all ISBS members.

Our lab is hiring two postdocs! They’ll work on a new R01 with Drs. Aaron Young, Greg Sawicki, and Trisha Kesar on intelligent exos for post-stroke mobility. Cool joint positions between Georgia Tech and Emory! More info on our lab website: t.co/3Y2sscaUg9

As everything we do is wrong, it is very easy to point out what is wrong. Given that the right way to do things is infinitely complex, it is easy to say the right thing is more complex. But every useful contribution to a cumulative science exists somewhere in between these extremes.

Please RT. My lab is recruiting PhD student(s) with interest/expertise in #wearables, #biomechanics, #machinelearning, #musculoskeletalmodeling, and #mechatronics with applications to gait and balance control. Priority deadline is Dec. 5. More info at neuromoblab.com

A reminder if anyone is seeking sponsorship to host a conference/event Open Science Tools is open to applications. We're a small company but we'd like to spread the love and help out where we can. We will review apps in a month. Please share 👇 opensciencetools.org/sponsorships...
