Pitch of the week with @rd_wilkinson:

The Journal of Mulligan, where authors can rewrite and resubmit their very first published paper (and only their first paper) after a set amount of time. Probably not an original idea, but curious to see who would be interested.

Our very own @garebearbru will be teaching a tutorial on how to use GitHub for biomechanics collaborations and code reporducability with the Applied Biomechanics Lab's Ryan Alcantara. Congrats Gary and we look forward to learning from you!

For Greta's birthday (and to destress from my comps studies), we went to visit cats at the humane society where we met Joseph. He's a cautious one, and liked to explore. But we think he… https://t.co/13J5ejzXKE

Many thanks to @leifsaul for this very cool infographic created following my recent visit to @CUBoulderIPHY. #scicomm More of his work here: https://t.co/Rqcg1A2rVb

I don't have a rubber ducky for debugging code, but Sackboy helps me edit comps. Does anyone else have a "work buddy" at their desk?

Does your scientific writing include classic storytelling elements? I've found the papers that stick with me read like stories with a main character (hypothesis) who experiences dramatic tension and resolution.

Science hard, then play hard. CU Biomechanics intramural soccer team takes a 7-3 win (Civ. E. & Aerospace were good opponents). But there were casualties 😭. My trusty boots couldn't hang. Had them since '08. @Nike any old Tiempos in storage you need to get rid of? #olderisbetter

Cool article on perceptual animation inconsistencies in journal club this week. Found myself going down the rabbit-hole but discovered a sweet tool on soft tissue animation (MoSh) from @Michael_J_Black. How many biomechanists use this? @JulieSteele6

@RodgerKram says scientific writing is like building a pizza. The problem is, I'm a spaz in the kitchen and I keep knocking over all my ingredients. #gradschool
