@ErinMannenPhD I’d be happy to talk about my work on running biomechanics and injury risk mitigation, with a focus on women athletes! I am also involved with computer modeling and simulation of gait if that is of interest!

[Alexandra F. DeJong Lempke PhD, ATC @afdlempke]

A wonderful experience over the last few days sharing some of my past, present and future research with the University of Maryland Neuromechanics Research Core and VCU Biomedical Engineering! Huge thanks to @gau_desai & @PetersonREALab for inviting me! @VCU_RAMHS

[Gauri Desai (she/her) @gau_desai]

Shoutout to @afdlempke, @IUBiomechanics and @JarekHarezlak for their support and invaluable contributions!

[Gauri Desai (she/her) @gau_desai]

So excited to get this one out!
Our major takeaway: Sex may not influence shock attenuation during running, but accounting for body composition may alter these associations.
Thanks to @WomenSportsTech for funding my dissertation work which made this publication possible!

[Alexandra F. DeJong Lempke PhD, ATC @afdlempke]

It was an absolute pleasure to work with @gau_desai on her latest paper "Sex Differences in Body Composition and Shock Attenuation During Running" published in Journal of Biomechanics! Access free link until Sept 18⬇️ @IUBiomechanics @JBiomech https://t.co/bFHr0XBeJ9

[Allison Gruber @IUBiomechanics]

Congrats to @gau_desai for publishing her first dissertation paper. Several more to come! Thanks @afdlempke and @JarekHarezlak for contributing! Looking forward to many more collabs with you both.

The future is now: new paper where we developed & validated the first commercially available wearable to predict tissue loading at three common running injury locations using machine learning

We just finished the specific aims page assignment in our professional skills course for PhD students (and, coincidentally, I had study section last week). Here are a few writing issues I see a lot that are easy to fix if you know to look for them.
