What a privilege to spend the day on Capitol Hill meeting with congressional members to advocate for #science funding as an @aimbe-official.bsky.social fellow. Had a great conversation with Senator Tim Kaine’s office. #AIMBE2026

🚨✍️ AIMBE urges the scientific community to take a minute to send our new congressional letter opposing the President’s FY2027 budget proposal: bit.ly/420ig1A These proposed cuts to our scientific enterprise (e.g., NIH & NSF) would jeopardize training, research, and innovation driving our economy.

Congratulations to Darryl Thelen on receiving the #ASB2025 Borelli award! @amsocbiomech.bsky.social

Amazing keynote by Suzanne Maher during #ASB2025. Building and maintaining Physician-Engineer partnerships are essential for translating research into clinical care & how to optimize treatment! @amsocbiomech.bsky.social

Come join us for the first ASB Debate during #ASB2025. Are we ready to draw insights from BIG Data? Thanks Scott Selbie, @katherineaboyer.bsky.social and Jamie Wilson for joining in the fun! @amsocbiomech.bsky.social

Thrilled to be at this year's American Society of Biomechanics conference to talk about science advocacy in collaboration with @aimbe-official.bsky.social #ASB2025

Fantastic keynote during #ASB2025 by Rory A. Cooper, PhD, PLY. It is important and essential to design with and not for people! @amsocbiomech.bsky.social

Great start to #ASB2025 Day 1 running with ~70 of my favorite biomechanists. Make sure to check the app throughout the day to see all the amazing programming! Don’t forget to find a fellow (#fellowfound) @amsocbiomech.bsky.social

🌅 ASB 2025 is off and running! 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Thanks to everyone who joined the Fun Run this morning to kick things off. 📢 First session starts at 9:00 AM — see you there! #ASB2025 #FunRun #ConferenceKickoff #Biomechanics

Welcome to #ASB2025! Kurt Beschorner and I are excited to welcome everyone to Pittsburgh for an amazing few days of #biomechanics. Find us throughout the meeting to say hi, ask questions & let us what we can do to make this the best conference ever! @amsocbiomech.bsky.social

Please share this broadly. It is really important for those outside of science to join in the discussion of the importance of research for public health. @blackbiomechs.bsky.social @amsocbiomech.bsky.social @brianumberger.bsky.social

AIMBE has launched our new Citizen Advocate for Science Letter: takeaction.io/aimbe/scienc... We ask the broader scientific community to widely share this letter (✍️ <1 minute) with friends, family, and other concerned citizens to urge their elected officials to protect biomedical research funding 👇

To the @amsocbiomech.bsky.social community make sure to check your email for #ASB2025 abstract notifications. If you submitted and didn’t receive an email reach out and let me know (notifications went to the first author). Can’t wait to see everyone in Pittsburgh!

🚨 AIMBE is calling on the biomedical research community to take a minute to send our 3 new advocacy letters urging Congress to: 1. Protect the STEM Training Pipeline (e.g., NIH MOSAIC, T32s, MARC, etc.) 2. Oppose Indirect Cost Caps 3. Support Research Funding in FY2026 aimbe.org/advocate/wri...

We were not able to join #HokieNation on campus in Blacksburg for the 3.2 for 32 this morning. Each year it is important to honor those we lost. #WeAreVT

Thank you to everyone for making the #AIMBE2025 Annual Meeting a highly engaging and productive event! Now more than ever, your scientific voices and collective advocacy are crucial as we continue these conversations back in your local communities. We look forward to seeing you all again soon!

Congrats to all the new fellows. Going to be a great few days with this amazing community!

Happening now: AIMBE President @lolauic.bsky.social and Executive Director @dawnberaud.bsky.social holding the New Fellow Orientation! #AIMBE2025

Great few days in Pittsburgh! Thanks to Kurt E Beschorner and the University of Pittsburgh Department of Bioengineering for the invitation to visit. Great discussions with students and faculty colleagues as well as a chance to see some great facilities.

Thrilled to be a part of this event to help advocate for #medicalresearch that can improve the lives of young and older people in the USA and around the globe through #physicalactivity and #movement.

AIMBE is expecting its largest Hill Day during our #AIMBE2025 Annual Event this month! Our Fellows are heeding the call in a big way to use their voices on issues that matter. Your engagement is more important than ever.

The 3/14 deadline to finalize the FY2025 budget is fast approaching! ⌛ AIMBE has developed a new advocacy letter (<1 min to send) for the scientific community to urge Congress to support our federal science agencies, including NIH, NSF, FDA, ARPA-H, CDMRP, and more 👇 takeaction.io/aimbe/suppor...

Great job by the @amsocbiomech.bsky.social community with abstract submissions. 750 abstracts without a deadline extension! Expect to hear from us soon with your reviewer assignments. Looking forward to an amazing #ASB2025 meeting in Pittsburgh!
