Several grad students have asked me about industry opportunities and navigating from academia to industry careers, so I put together a list of 5 things that helped me focus my job search & career prospects. See all 5 on LinkedIn: https://t.co/Q9WLtGphNS

Big thanks to @birdBiomech for providing a MATLAB framework. And for anyone interested in the data you're looking at someone forcing their shoulder rotation while running (top) and corresponding muscle activity (EMG) from 3 separate muscles in the left (red) and right (blue) leg.

To all my data junkie friends, if you're looking for a way to make figures more visually appealing through animation (like this one here) check out the code I put together here: https://t.co/VGMLamHxoG

@GatorsDaily @AdrienArias looks like a pretty steep incline... if only they had a second camera to get 3D haha

@aznfusion Very interesting paper! I work with cane toads, they're ~1000x's larger than pumpkin toadlets and even some of them are pretty bad at sticking the landing and crash 20% of the time while other individuals landing perfectly every time. Look forward to reading more of your work!

I'm defending my doctoral thesis!

I'm giving a 1-hour public presentation of my dissertation on Tuesday, May 24th at 10am Pacific Time. If you're interested in finding out how animals move across complex terrain and want to tune in please DM me for the Zoom link!

Excited we got the force sensing treadmill up and running, hoping to get some biomechanics test subjects soon!

Huge thanks to Alexandra Voloshina, Monica Daley & the tech support team at Advanced Mechanical Technology, Inc. (AMTI) for their help setting…https://t.co/MUilIR0dYB

Newscasters:

#BLM defacing a Target and breaking into Gucci= riots

#MAGA obstructing democracy, putting elected officials & the VicePrez in danger, and breaking into a Federal Building = protests

No, No, and No!! This is domestic terrorism by white supremacists

White privilege is not being shot or tear gassed while storming the Capitol.

Help answer the age old question ‘Is the American alligator or cane toad better at moving?’ by checking out @AdrienArias's and my posters on alligator and toad locomotion, respectively. #vASB2020
