In Nov last year, we published a predictive theory of locomotor adaptation to novel environments, capturing learning and generalization phenomena in over ten experiments: www.nature.com/articles/s41... I'm honored to be featured on the 2025 Innovators Under 35 list for this work. ter.li/7c0jek

Great follow here, and an amazing community! 👇

Are you from one of these states? Then we need your help to save American science! The Senate Appropriations Committee will be marking up the President's Budget Request for science on Wednesday. People have been saying the proposed cuts "decimated" US science, but that's wrong: they are apocalyptic

Big congrats to Anna Corman for winning Best Doctoral Podium at RMASB! 🏆 She crushed her talk on how personalizing musculoskeletal models—esp. muscle strength—affects joint contact force estimates and injury risk. #biomechsky #RMASB #MusculoskeletalModeling #InjuryPrevention

#MinesME PhD candidate Mike Miller shared his analysis of ankle muscle function in sit-to-walk using musculoskeletal modeling. Great energy from the RMASB crowd—already excited for next year! #biomechsky #RMASB #STEM

Day 2 Rocky Mountain ASB - Jordan Sturdy presenting on behalf of Mines ME undergrad research fellow Ava Watson sharing work on body center of mass motion during a step down task. Appreciate all the thoughtful discussion from the regional biomechanics community! #biomechsky #RMASB #STEM #MURF

Day 2 of Rocky Mountain ASB was excellent! Sabrina Kazi, Mines ME undergrad research fellow mentored by Mike Miller, presented her results on ground reaction forces as an effect of age and limb during sit-to-stand. #biomechsky #RMASB #STEM #MURF

Alicia Kanai presenting effects of enforced muscle co-contraction on knee joint contact forces. #biomechsky #RMASB

Will Feldman evaluating limb asymmetry and variation in hopping. #biomechsky #RMASB #IMSI @birdbiomech.bsky.social @lukenjessup.bsky.social

Jordan Sturdy presenting individual variation in spinal kinematics. #biomechsky #RMASB #IMSI

Rocky Mountain ASB meeting updates coming your way, fast and furious :) #biomechsky #RMASB Anna Corman presenting her work on model personalization.

The Mines group at the Rocky Mountain American Society of Biomechanics meeting - go team! #biomechsky #RMASB

Shoutout to Anna Corman for crushing it as a finalist in the 3-Minute Thesis Competition at Mines! 🎉👏 Breaking down complex research for a broad audience is no small feat, and Anna nailed it. Huge props for making technical concepts clear, engaging, and impactful! #3MT #SciComm #biomechsky

Mines ME MS student Alicia Kanai presenting her work on using a modeling framework to investigate muscle coactivation during landing at the Mines Graduate Research and Discovery Symposium! Great work! #Biomechanics #Hopping #Research #biomechsky

Mines ME PhD student Will Feldman presenting his evaluation of muscle excitations and joint kinetics during hopping at Mines Graduate Research and Discovery Symposium! Great work! Excited for this collaboration with @lukenjessup.bsky.social and @birdbiomech.bsky.social #IMSI #Biomechanics

😃 A new article published in J Biomech by van der Kruk shows a large disparity in female representation within Journal of Biomechanics studies published in 2024. A concern term biasmechanics is proposed to encourage efforts to address it. 👀 buff.ly/Rt69AGH #BiomechSky

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

Me to all of my students for any document they write: "Avoid abbreviations. This is really bad for the working memory of the reviewers and impairs readability"

Some folks have asked, given recent news, “how do I show my friends/family the impact of NSF?” We have some easy Fact Sheets for you! Here’s a brief thread about this website: new.nsf.gov/about/fact-s... which hosts a ton of useful one-pagers.

I would really love it if the amazing and talented scientists who were arbitrarily and illegally fired would run for office.

Any university that voluntarily shutters a DEI program, office or personnel “Because of Trumps Executive Order” is making a PR decision. Not a legal one. Trumps EO does not change anti discrimination law. If anything, the EO is unlawful. Universities should treat it that way.

A reminder that registration is open for this CNB Muscle-tendon mechanics satellite meeting! Students can apply for the ISB Technical Meeting grant for $500USD to attend isbweb.org/students/28-... (see grant #5: CNB isn't listed because it is a new group, but the funding does apply)

🚨 Only 10 days left to submit your abstract for #ISB2025! Deadline: January 31st. Spread the word in your networks, universities, and labs—we’re excited to see your high-quality work! 📢 Registration is now OPEN: isb2025.com

I guess it is pretty creepy that this scorpion has an endoskeleton and not an exoskeleton. #spookyseason #biomechsky
