One of our fantastic alumni out there continuing to make us proud. Not only is she doing great things herself, Erica continues to think about how she can help others succeed.

[BlackInBME @BlackInBME]

Another favorite role model of ours is @MayoClinic postdoc @BellePhd, whose time as @ECUTrack superstar guides her research. This @BlackBiomechs co-founder recently published on how they are increasing accessibility to biomechanics for Black students➡️ https://t.co/abCvQLm0IF

Cool to see work from our friend Dr. Fleisig getting discussed by Buster Olney. Some interesting differences in pitching mechanics between US and Japanese professional pitchers, with possible implications for injury risk.

[Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN]

This is fascinating, about pitching mechanics.
