I am incredibly honoured (& shocked) to receive the Best PhD Dissertation Award from INSAR! This work wouldn’t exist without amazing mentors, colleagues, lived experience experts and participants! Special thanks to @Jennifer_L_Cook for her mentorship- I feel so grateful and lucky

[Dagmar Fraser @dagmarfraser.bsky.social @dagmarfraser]

🎉 New paper alert! 🧠 The velocity-curvature power law is one of the 'kinematic laws of nature' (Flash 2021), a 'fundamental law of human control' (Zago et al. 2016), and one of the 'kinematic regularities' (Frith & Frith 2023) thought to underlie all biological motion. 1/9
