Dear Biomechanics Community, The special issue of @CurrentProtocol in Biomechanics is now inviting protocol papers in all sub-fields of biomechanics. Please help spread the word and we look forward to seeing your submissions! w/ Jeremy Petravicz, Ph.D. …rentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/19…

Happy 2nd pandemic birthday to me 🎂💜

Congrats to Kurtlab grad student Em Triolo 🏳️‍🌈 for receiving an honorable mention for their NSF GRFP application!

See how your brain moves in 3D as your heart beats 💓🧠. Our collab. team published 2-part series at Brain Multiphysics and MRM to introduce 3D amplified MRI (w/ Stevens Institute of Technology Matai Stanford Engineering University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau @BMEIISinai) sciencedirect.com/science/articl… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mr…

We compiled an extensive list of fellowships and conference funds targeting increased participation of LGBTQ+ students in STEM w/ Em Triolo 🏳️‍🌈. Please help distribute and let us know if you know of any other opportunities that should be added to our list! kurtlab.com/pride

In 🇧🇪, 10,000 #cyclists are injured in accidents every year. A #helmet helps to prevent #head injuries, but it could be better. Andrea Menichetti studies how much our brain can deform before getting injured as to develop even safer helmets 🚴🏽‍♂️🧠 🎥 sciencefiguredout.be/protecting-bra… #safety

Congratulations to Kurtlab graduate student Javid Javid Abderezaei who won the best PhD Level presentation award in Injury Biomechanics at #SB3C2021 SB3C Organizers! So proud of you Javid! 🥳

Our paper on designing a brain-mimicking phantom for validation and testing of motion-sensitive MR imaging techniques is now online @MechBioMat . In collaboration w/ Yang Yang BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute Mechanical Neuroimaging Lab Melih Eriten Em Triolo 🏳️‍🌈 Fargol R. Araghi Javid Abderezaei sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It’s #NonbinaryPeoplesDay! We dedicate today to uplifting #nonbinary folx, and their authentic stories and selves. Nonbinary friends, we see you today and every day. 💛 🤍 💜 🖤

Our peer review initiative PRIDE (Peer Review for Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity) is now online! #PRIDEMentorship You can sign up as a mentor here: docs.google.com/forms/d/1rprUE… If you are a student, see our mentor database: kurtlab.com/pride w/ @TheSTEMvillage

Our review article evaluating the effectiveness of bicycle helmets during impacts is now published in Frontiers - Bioengineering and Biotechnology. Our findings demonstrate the importance of developing new technologies and impact testing standards for better prevention of brain injuries. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

This is what happens when you give me a holiday and people to bake for 😅

And a final 4.0 rounds out my last semester of classes 🎉🍾

A huge thanks to all the organizers SB3C Organizers for an amazing #SB3C2022 experience! See you all next year 👋🏼 Ya-Chen Chuang Em Triolo 🏳️‍🌈
