You'll also be: considering how to word "specialized knowledge in how to make tape stick to things as efficiently as possible" on a CV.

[Cabel McCandless, PhD @CMcCandlessEXS]

Two things you have to learn on your own as a 4th year PhD doing biomechanics research:

1) You will NEVER have enough caffeine in your system
2) You will NEVER have enough tape in your lab

A bit of a bittersweet walk to lab this morning before our last participant for my PhD research.

I'm going to miss the lab work incredibly, but I'm excited to be moving onto the next phase!

So nice to catch up with colleagues and friends from across the country in Edmonton @CSBiomech conference. Thanks to the CSB exec and local hosts @UAlberta for providing an opportunity for my lab + other UGuelph biomechanics labs/alumni to present their recent scientific findings

[Jenna Pitman @JennaGaile]

Excited to have had the opportunity to present some of the data we collected last year as part of my doctoral work @CSBiomech this morning in Edmonton.

Thank you to all who attended, and to all who have supported this work to this point!

Hot off the press with @UGuelphGaitLab this week. A neat question that popped up from my MSc work - happy to see this in print!

It's always fun to explore how instructions are given to participants - and how that can impact responses. https://t.co/aiYDrYAYMJ

Just knew canada was gonna win after this

[Jenna Pitman @JennaGaile]

Sorry everyone, but I took the day off today to drive to a field for a heck of an experience.

Trust me, this looked better in person 🌝🌙🌑

[Jenna Pitman @JennaGaile]

@ShawnBeaudette Congratulations!

@brad_mcfadyen Thank you, Brad!

I'll take it as a creative interpretation ☺.

Going to try to publish more just to see what image gets generated.
