We are hosting our second career panel with ASB Early Career Faculty Affinity Group to discuss “Writing Successful Postdoctoral Grants”. This panel is on 2/2 at 1:30 ET/ 10:30am PT on Zoom link is on Slack - DM us for info. Stay tuned for more panels throughout the year!

Happy #mondaypunday, don't forget to put the "fun" in fundamental research today and everyday!!!

Happening today at 1:30pm ET/10:30am PT!!

Check out our work coupling experiments and models to examine the role of collagen organization on passive muscle mechanics!

Hot off the presses! 📰 We have EXTENDED THE DEADLINE for individual submissions until 23:59 PDT March 18! Don’t miss out and submit now! See you in #MadisonWI! #Biomechanics #AbstractDeadline #ShareYourScience #ASB2024 asbweb.org/individual-ora…

Shoutout to Jorie from the ARMS lab for organizing an awesome National Biomechanics Day event for the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab!! We had an "electric" time during our demos using EMG to measure muscle activation! The future of biomechanics such is "exciting"⚡️American Society of Biomechanics National Biomechanics Day

😃New article published in J Biomech! "The need for speed – Does the force–velocity property significantly alter strain distributions within skeletal muscle?", by DiSalvo & Blemker. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #journalofbiomechanics

Introducing Dr. DiSalvo! From adding force-velocity to constitutive models to modeling superior constrictor muscle activation in the pharyngeal wall, Matt’s 'superior' defense talk 'transmitted' many contributions that will 'speed' up progress in the field! Virginia BME #muscleiscool

Congratulations!!! So well deserved!! Kate Saul Wendy Murray UVA M3 Lab

Our third professional development panel is THIS Friday, June 21st at 2 pm ET/ 11 am PT. The topic is “Mentorship from ASB Fellows!” and it will be on Zoom-see slack for details! Come network and receive advice from ASB Fellows on fostering a healthy and successful career!

Check out our symposium on characterizing and targeting muscle stiffness tomorrow at 1 pm ISEK!! Looking forward to hearing about the exciting work from Taylor Dick @BBinderMarkey Jun Umehara! #ISEK2024

Congrats to Silvia Salinas Blemker (BME) on winning the Goel Award from the American Society of Biomechanics. The award recognizes outstanding accomplishments in translational biomechanics research & entrepreneurship. at.virginia.edu/rvj394 Virginia BME American Society of Biomechanics Springbok Analytics

Don’t miss the final “stretch” of #ASB2024!!

Excited to share my first first author publication! “Development of an ultrasound‐based metric of muscle functional capacity for use in patients with neuromuscular disease” (doi.org/10.1002/mus.28…) Should we incorporate both muscle size and quality into NMD biomarkers?
