David
Thanks for your kind words. It’s been an honour & privilege to work with you & Damien. Your commitment was unwavering. Ultimately delegates attend conferences to see science & the program that you put together, together with track & session chairs, was truly outstanding. https://t.co/6jZbYgyK4T

[Prof. Fergal O'Brien @fjobrien]

Many were from @dannykelly1978 & my labs but many others were not. Thanks also to the other @TissueEngDublin & @TCDBioengineer PIs who gave their research staff a ‘week off’!

[Journal of Biomechanics @JBiomech]

Congratulations again to Danny Kelly @dannykelly1978, Fergal O'Brien @fjobrien, and the entire team at @TissueEngDublin, @TCDBioengineer, and @RCSI_Irl who made @WCB2018 such a success. They brought a tremendous level of international attention to the field of biomechanics!

[Prof. Fergal O'Brien @fjobrien]

We had lots of wonderful music at #WCB2018 from #BEDrock to #U2. This is my favourite performance though. The @TissueEngDublin Bog Rattlers with Deep-lying Scaffolds- led by @Laura_B_Gall!
