This is a cyclist using his knowledge of physics and aerodynamics to gain a competitive advantage Michael Guerra unclips from his pedals, lies down on the seat and stretches out his legs to achieve ultimate aerodynamic efficiency.

Proud of this team! ❤️ Over the 14 months of funding to design & deliver BRInC program 4/9 CI’s had babies 👶🏻 (2 pictured). Supporting female ECRs in biomechanics is central to our BRInC program & this is SUCH a critical time for many of us. Fortunate to have such a great team!

OpenSim Creator 0.3.0 is now available: github.com/ComputationalB… It comes with a cool new feature: live muscle plotting (video below). Shoutout to Julia van Beesel and Thomas Geijtenbeek, who helped test parts of 0.3.0 and gave valuable feedback on it!

Great to see our BRInC program showcased at #ABC13biomech

Gender #inequality is a big problem in #STEM and biomech is no diff. This paper highlights the issue & some solutions. Can’t wait for initiatives like International Women in Biomechanics & @BRINC to minimise barriers although we all can help! Grateful to work with this awesome team - read&share🙏

New Nature paper provides evidence that science has become less innovative since the 1950s. The authors suggest reversing the trend by: 1. reading widely, 2. focusing less on quantity of papers, & more on research quality, 3. taking year-long sabbaticals. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Why do YOU think the arch recoils? Our new study in Frontiers - Bioengineering and Biotechnology uses high-speed x-ray to show that arch recoil is critical to propulsion because it orients the ankle upright. Arch recoil increases contact time, likely to generate propulsive ankle power more efficiently. 1/5

Come and join our team on the beautiful Gold Coast, Australia. Science, sun and surf! I have openings for PhD students to work on multiple projects in the area of human foot biomechanics. biomch-l.isbweb.org/forum/biomch-l…

Skeletal muscle, the powerhouse of locomotion, holds intriguing mysteries. This exciting review in J Biomech highlights advancements in imaging technology for a better understanding of in vivo muscle function! #biomechanics #journalofbiomechanics doi.org/10.1016/j.jbio…

For those interested in my research, I am on the lookout for PhD students or postdocs interested in biomechanics of human movement and its application to ‘real world’ settings.

Honoured to receive the 2023 QLD #WomenInSTEM Prize last night along with other great scientists! Queensland Museum Kurilpa Thanks to the amazing collaborators, mentors and allies I have had along the way...and the support of family and friends. youtube.com/watch?v=c7uqxJ…

How do netballers manage ankle sprains? Our international cross-sectional survey of 1,592 netballers is now open-access in the Journal of Science & Medicine in Sport. Full text: doi.org/10.1016/j.jsam… #ankle #sprains #netball #injury

Lots of fun in the lab filming for 9News yesterday with our BRInC program team from Robina High School. Exposing the next generation of women to biomechanics! #WomeninSTEM x.com/9newsgoldcoast…

Music is medicine, if harnessed effectively. Today in Nature Communications we report on the efficacy and safety an autonomous auditory-motor intervention that applies the #rhythm of music to retrain walking after stroke. Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4146… Thread...1/6

Applications for these PhD scholarships are still open. Full tuition fee waiver and living stipend included. Feel free to reach out for more details
