Interested in improving traffic safety and saving lives? We are now looking for a PhD student to help us improve the prediction of brain injuries using human body models and enhance head protection! Last day to apply October 5!

Declining Disruption.
#ScienceTwitter is abuzz with this recently published nature article.
I read into the study and 100s of comments.
Consensus: Grants and journals are to blame.
But the authors give a much better, more personal insights.
Here's what I learned:
👇
#DailyMechanician Svein Kleiven is expert on brain biomechanics, constructing models to predict & evaluate trauma. A work with von Holst explored correlation between head size & injury risk, while also discussing contact assumptions to best capture dull-skull interface behaviors.
Only a few days left before the deadline of the applications for Ph.D. candidate positions in our group. Apply before Friday! #PhDlife#vacancies

Interesting to work towards improved brain injury predictions for FE models. Have a look at https://t.co/nZKv6FkRTB . We are hiring a PhD student to complement our group. #KTH#PhDLife#vacancy#PhDjobs
On Monday, June 1st at 10am (PDT), we will be sitting down for a live chat on YouTube with Peter Halldin, one of the co-founders of MIPS. Come join us! https://t.co/3SmoExvH7g
Celebratory dinner with @Neuronic_KTH for two (!) of Svein's graduates. Wonderful group and people. Thoughtful debate on injury criteria in #BioMEX workshop. Zhou on to @StanfordBioE with Camarillo group. Met Peter Halldin, co-inventor of #MIPS for helmets. I have one!
Peter Halldin, Hans von Holst och Svein Kleiven tar emot Sveriges äldsta och finaste teknikpris #Polhemspriset för sin innovation MIPS, hjälmtekniken som imiterar hjärnans eget skyddssystem. Stort grattis!
