Oh, a request to review a paper, addressed to Dr. [sic] Rokhmanova, no less! How lovely! Oh... due in 10 days... due December 30th... not nearly so nice

Interested in leading your own workshop on creating effective and beautiful figures?

🚨#BiomechSky users!🚨 We have migrated to a new server to host our feed. Please re-like/re-pin/re-add this NEW feed to ensure you stay up to date on biomechanics updates: bsky.app/profile/did:... Thanks x 100 to @cvhammond.biomech.dev for pulling it off 👍

Community request for #BiomechSky users! Do you have the bandwidth to help set up a custom Bluesky feed? SkyFeed is easy to set up and free to use, but it only stores posts for 7 days. I'll financially support the server, but need someone who can handle the TypeScript (and/or follow this guide:

Like many, I had an "ancient Rome" phase growing up where I obsessed over ancient myths, traditions, catastrophes (Vesuvius). Random enthusiasts coming together on Discord to puzzle apart text in charred scrolls from Herculaneum are living out my dream: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I think I’ve found the killer GPT app: filtering mean, toxic peer reviews and summarizing any useful points in a cheerful, constructive tone. We’ll call it #YourPaperDoesntSuck

#rstats What are your favourite examples when teaching students to think critically about data/figures and interpretations? For example, Simpson's Paradox and the importance of considering important subpopulations - is brilliantly displayed in the Palmer Penguins dataset.

#HiSciSky I'm happy to see our 🧪👩‍🔬 🐡#PhDSky #biomechsky communities growing! In lieu of an intro, here are the posters I shared this summer at a few conferences. I research how wearable haptics can help individuals with knee osteoarthritis learn to walk in a way that could slow cartilage degradation.

Out now in Nature Metabolism: metabolic tuning during the menstrual cycle. I wrote an N&V feature about a new study by Hummel & Benkendorff et al. showing changes in insulin sensitivity during the menstrual cycle. #neuroscience www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Creating data visualizations is a HUGE challenge. How can we make it easier for scientists to craft beautiful figures that are easy to understand, not overly complex, and accessible? @nrokh.bsky.social, and I have the answer... SCIFIG; check it out: github.com/nrokh/Scient...

addendum: searching #biomechsky in the search bar will still pull up all the old posts; they're just not displayed in the feed. always learning!

update: #biomechsky is neither broken nor down, we're just a slow-posting community and hosting a feed on @skyfeed.app only stores posts for 7 days. sorry! on my to-do list is migrating us from skyfeed and to a self-made server; downside to this is that everyone would have to re-pin and re-like 🙃

immigrant parents: assistant professor? you go to college for over 10 years to become someone assistant? when will you get real job?

Hello World! I am a junior professor in computational biomechanics. We research human gait, mainly using simulations, and some machine learning. We try to predict gait in new situations, and reconstruct gait from incomplete measurements. Oh and news: I’ll switch into a tenured position in 2 years.

Hello, World! I am a professor at the University of Michigan studying human locomotion primarily using musculoskeletal modeling and computer simulation approaches. I look forward to connecting with the biomechanics and related communities on this site. #Biomechanics #BiomechSky

Hello, I do research on the evolutionary #biomechanics of locomotion, mainly in legged land vertebrates (#tetrapods), but dabbling elsewhere. In particular, I study major transitions & tradeoffs in locomotor function; e.g. in #dinosaurs, #elephants, etc. #biomechsky #evosky #paleo #paleobio #Evobio

The biomechanics feed is live! bsky.app/profile/did:... Add it to your pins and use #biomechsky for your post to show in the feed.

setting up a biomechanics feed... testing #biomechsky

In the 70s a famous Scientific American article outlining the efficiency of locomotion of different animals. Among them, humans and their inventions. Turns out that cyclist is the most efficient in terms of calories per gram per kilometre. 🧪#neuroskyence

hello, is this thing on?
