Co-engineering body and machine to improve human performance. #anatomics #bionics #prosthetics

[Tyler Clites @TylerClites]

Looking for a #postdoc to join my lab @UCLA, developing bionic alternatives to amputation for cases of severe limb pathology. Position is funded for one year with possibility of renewal. Details and application information here: https://t.co/3slJ6iCjOy

@UCLAHealth U Magazine put together a great article about our work and our wonderful collaborators in @UCLAortho.

Tyler Clites @TylerClites presents a new concept in bionics, called "anatomics,” in which body and machine are engineered in parallel. Check out his new perspective paper

New Perspective on #userpreference in prosthetics and exoskeletons. Preference is noisy and tricky to quantify, but contains unique information for researchers trying to develop user-optimal solutions.

If room-temp superconductors work (with sufficient current density) it will revolutionize robotics.
Most of the mechanical cost & complexity is gearboxes and the rotational inertia they cause.

I am recruiting graduate research assistants to join the Adaptive Bionics Lab at @UCalgary. Research is in the areas of robotic prosthesis design, exoskeleton development, and human biomechanics. Anticipated start date is Sept 1 or Jan 1. Please share/RT!

@jamesmfinley Thanks for a great seminar and visit!

[Rachel Gehlhar Humann @RachelGHumann]

Excited to share our review paper that just came out on control methods for lower-limb powered prostheses!

We've published two papers in @FrontBioeng on the potential to use magnetic bead implants for controlling wearable robots. Here's a video showing what we've learned so far (enjoy the cameo): https://t.co/KUhfJ8K8dg @MIT @medialab @BrownUniversity @harvardmed

Must-read for my white cis-het male friends. If you don't have time for 30+ pages, skip to the "Summary of Findings" on pgs 33 & 34 -- see how many points you recognize in your own thinking or that of your mentors / colleagues:

Huge opportunity to work with an amazing new PI in an exciting field!

[Kim Ingraham, PhD @kim_ingraham]

I am recruiting graduate students to join my lab next year! Opportunities to work on • wearable sensing • human-exoskeleton interaction • pediatric powered mobility & computer interaction • human-in-the-loop optimization for assistive robots, and more! DM me with interest.

Running-specific prosthetic feet ("blades") are more than just pogo sticks; a vertical force causes a non-vertical displacement. In our new TBME paper, we use shape optimization to achieve desired endpoint mechanics, make 3 feet, and test on an athlete: https://t.co/bVkPsOR13q

@neuroamyo Oooh yes this is such good advice! I use Gmail's templates feature, which it sounds like does the same thing with just a couple clicks. Feels like a cheat code every time I get to use one of my templates.

[Tyler Clites @TylerClites]

@pcfino Classic. At least yours was editable (albeit in a super annoying way). We got a Quad Chart template once with a screenshot of an empty table from Word.

@CVHammond_ @doctorBobG Plus, they have the best documentation around (unless you enjoy digging through stack exchange?).

[Tyler Clites @TylerClites]

@CVHammond_ @doctorBobG Have to agree with @doctorBobG on this one. Within university environments where it is widely available, Matlab has increased accessibility of data analysis and processing pipelines for people from diff. technical backgrounds, where coding may not be emphasized as heavily.

It’s that time of the year again, and departments are gearing up to recruit top diverse faculty to their academic institutions. Here are 8 key tips to ensure you secure that talent:

[Charles Piller @cpiller]

Were two separate, major lines of Alzheimer’s research tainted by image fabrication, with far-reaching implications for the field? I take a deep look for @ScienceMagazine https://t.co/f26wIf6ktf

Great thread, super important to keep in mind. Unbelievable how pervasive this type of language is in academic spaces.

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

There are words you shouldn’t call academic (or any) women. Words you might think are innocuous, but have a long history of being used to dismiss, devalue, or discredit women. You might not be aware that these words should be avoided. A 🧵

I am looking for a postdoc to join my new lab at Northeastern University in Boston, who will work on both neuromechanical simulations and gait assistive exoskeletons. More details here: https://t.co/3xtRFhO0ir. I would greatly appreciate your help in spreading this message.
