Fabulous talk and well deserved recognition @AnaMaPorras and @LatinXinBME at #BMES2024 ! Congratulations!

[WPI Biomedical Engineering Department @WPI_BME]

We’re ready for #BMES2024! Visit @WPI_BME at Booth 737 to learn about our graduate programs and REU program. We also have current faculty, staff, and students here to chat with you!

Great to see Kate and Bry this morning!

Do you ever wonder which multi segment foot model is the right one for your research question? This and other questions that keep us up at night are now answered! Plus, we have detailed instructions on creating these models using @cmotioninc V3D. Read on:https://t.co/p3vNuqlp2e

@WPI_BME student Elizabeth Bowman have a great presentation at #ASB2024 @AmSocBiomech on some results from our exoskeleton walking clinical trial.

[Karen Troy @Troy_BiomechLab]

#ASB2024 is such a great conference! It’s been great learning cool stuff about muscles from @UvaM3Lab and @MoBLNCSU and catching up with some @WPI_BME /lab alums like Ying Fang!

@rosshm16 Haven’t you considered the tremendous amount of fluid drag caused by a watch?

[Karen Troy @Troy_BiomechLab]

So proud of @WPI_BME student Elie Bowman! Looking forward to reconnecting at @AmSocBiomech next week! You’re making @WPI look great!

[Danny Davis, PhD @DDavis_Biomech]

Our fantastic undergrad Elizabeth Bowman wrapped up her 10-week summer research project in the Sayu Lab today w a stellar poster presentation (@uofuour)! She’s looking for grad schools for FA’25 and she’s a candidate you won’t want to miss, go find her at @AmSocBiomech next week!

@MIOBLab This is awesome news- congratulations Nic!!!

[Karen Troy @Troy_BiomechLab]

@pcfino And this is why I truly believe that within the top 30% we should just move to a lottery along with some discretion from the PO who can work to balance the overall portfolio

@l_giangregorio @GoodLifeFitness It starts early - my teenage (athlete) daughter won’t go to the local gym to lift because it’s full of (grunting, stinky) guys.

[Karen Troy @Troy_BiomechLab]

@lenzetal @KarenKrugerPhD @UofUOrtho @UtahBME @NIH_NIAMS Hurray!! Great news!

[Karen Troy @Troy_BiomechLab]

@tylerjmcneill @CornellBME @mchvdm Congratulations Tyler!!

[Karen Troy @Troy_BiomechLab]

@AmSocBiomech @MoBLNCSU @wendymmurrayphd @UvaM3Lab there we go :)

[Karen Troy @Troy_BiomechLab]

@AmSocBiomech Can’t think of a better lineup! Congratulations @MoBLNCSU @wendymmurrayphd and Dr.Blemker!!

[Karen Troy @Troy_BiomechLab]

@BiomechanicsDay @WPI @WPI_BME Here it is in action! The platform calculates jump height, velocity and power, lights up, and shoots a ball into the air! Separately, you can jump to touch the rings. Some kids were even interested in the data :)

[Karen Troy @Troy_BiomechLab]

What a great day on @WPI campus! Our @WPI_BME students all presented their senior projects today. I am proud of my two design teams. This group created a cool outreach demo (involving jumping) that they presented as part of @BiomechanicsDay — with great success.
