We are recruiting a postdoc for an exciting multi-disciplinary project that explores the use of quantum sensors to measure muscle behaviour - looking for someone with skills in ultrasound, mocap, and EMG - funded by QLD Government's Quantum 2032 Challenge uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/uqcare...

great opportunity here !

We are recruiting trainees for the Integrative Movement Sciences Summer Institute. Students will gain research experience in dynamic muscular control of movement across organizational scales from molecular mechanisms to whole-body movement in complex environments. Learn more: tinyurl.com/5n7w6pey

@jexpbiol.bsky.social Special Issue is now out... Integrating Biomechanics, Energetics and Ecology in Locomotion Was fun to be part of this paper led by Glen Lichtwark "Integrating muscle energetics into biomechanical models to understand variance in the cost of movement" tinyurl.com/2xvkwbra

Integrating muscle energetics into biomechanical models to understand variance in the cost of movement

Summary: This Review considers how muscle energetics knowledge is integrated into biomechanical models and how this might be improved to better predict how changing locomotion requirements impacts met...

Simulations reveal the ideal mix of size and muscle strength for high speed creatures

When you think of the fastest animal, a cheetah might come to mind. Or an antelope. But it likely isn't a mouse or an elephant. It has long intrigued scientists that the fastest animals are of an inte...

The fast and the furriest stories.uq.edu.au/news/2024/wh... Thank you @UQ News for featuring our recent paper in Nature Comms nature.com/articles/s41... with the dream team of collaborators @cclemente4 @FriedlDeGroote

Muscle peeps...pennation angle matters, but does NOT belong in the equation for PCSA. Please, as a field, let's start using the correct equation. We tried to explain a bit of these here - royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

So proud of these students and all that they do! Heading home from a wonderful #ABCANZORS2024 Thanks to ANZSB and ANZORS for putting on a great meeting. High-quality science and Incredible presentations all round, with India Lindemann and James Williamson taking home conference awards !

All dressed up to celebrate a successful year of science with the lab family at the UQ School of Biomedical Sciences Year end Gala! So proud of these superbly talented students and post docs

Postdoc position in skeletal muscle biomechanics with Andy Biewener at Harvard! #Myoblue biomch-l.isbweb.org/forum/biomch...

Ever wondered why cheetahs are so dang fast, but smaller animals, like mice, or larger animals, like elephants, are much slower? Thrilled to share our new study in Nat Comm led by @EvoBiomech & @cclemente4 w/ Peter Bishop. A conversation that started nearly 10 y ago rdcu.be/dANSE

Thrilled to have our research supported by ALS Association. We will explore the potential for exoskeletons to assist movement in #ALS. Exciting collab between my team, @SteynLab, @Ngo_Lab, @J_L_Williamson9, Zach Lerner & @biomotum www.als.org/blog/enhanci...

The International Society of Biomechanics is currently accepting bids to host the 2027 Congress. The Executive Council of the ISB is responsible for selecting the site for the biennial International Congress of the Society and for offering guidance and assistance to the Organizing Committee.

The addbiomechanics.org tool is now citable! Article: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... Automatic model scaling for more accurate inverse kinematics and dynamics, in minutes. Fun collab led by Karen Liu, kicked off by a survey here :-) Much improved in past few months. Give it a try!

NBD grants are out! Make sure you don’t miss the chance of having FUNding to support your National Biomechanics Day activities! www.thebiomechanicsinitiative.org

In this JEB100 Conversation interview with Kathryn Knight, I talk about why understanding integration across systems and organizational scales is one of today's big questions, why it is important to recognize failure as an opportunity, and why graduate students benefit from a diverse team of mentors
