@FranzBiomech @gregory_sawicki So happy to finally see this out there for the world to see. Been working on this beast for >2 years. Thank you Jason & Greg for all the support!

[Jason Franz @FranzBiomech]

If you're looking to start your PhD in #BME / #Biomechanics / #Rehab, then let me get this on your radar early. Check us out (https://t.co/s9bzK0Sqle)! Chat with our group @AmSocBiomech and be on the lookout for a virtual open house with our team announced early this fall.

[Ricky Pimentel, PhD @PeruvianOx]

@joshrbaxter @AmSocBiomech Im interested!

[Ricky Pimentel, PhD @PeruvianOx]

Can't wait to talk about my research using computer vision to estimate walking economy! Join us this Thursday to learn more about & discuss data science at UNC 🤓📈

[UNC School of Data Science and Society @UNCSDSS]

Join us on Thursday, June 22 for lightning talks on how #DataScience and AI intersect with computational medicine, using wearable sensors and using video to understand human behavior. Register for this online event. https://t.co/uxbXoWeheZ #DataScienceNow

I've been incredibly lucky to learn from @FranzBiomech the past 4 years. He leads by example with genuine interest & compassion. Now that I've earned my PhD, the most important lesson I've learned is to ask: "WWJD - What Would Jason Do?" -and that is likely the best step forward!

@GT_PoWeR_Lab @JordynSchroede4 @gregory_sawicki @MEGeorgiaTech Congrats Dr. Schroeder!

[Ricky Pimentel, PhD @PeruvianOx]

@LabCsu @jointbme @FranzBiomech Thanks @LabCsu ! I'm moving back to CO late summer / early fall, so I'll definitely be in touch. Maybe I'd be up for a homecoming visit for a 5k trot ...👀🏃🏽‍♂️

@mollsdemarco @UNC @Recyclery_nc Thank you Molly! It was great to see you at the event 😀

[Ricky Pimentel, PhD @PeruvianOx]

@felipecarpes @LatinxBiomech Sorry, we did not record the session to promote candid conversations. I understand it was a bit late. We might do another next year, and we can aim for different times. Stay tuned and see you next time!

[Ricky Pimentel, PhD @PeruvianOx]

@LatinxBiomech is hosting an Industry Networking event TONIGHT at 8:30 eastern / 5:30 pacific! We will have panelists from Sports, Technology, Consulting, and Biomechanics fields. Register at https://t.co/XkOUVxuo0Z. Come on by to chat about biomechanics positions in industry!

[Ricky Pimentel, PhD @PeruvianOx]

@HoonKimATC Great job Hoon! Proud of you

[Ricky Pimentel, PhD @PeruvianOx]

I'm stoked to host these amazing industry panelists next week! If you're interested in working in industry, come learn more and network with us next Wednesday, 11/9. Sign up: https://t.co/QvMNPBNLUK @LatinXinBME @cientificolatin @IMEUNC @UNC_CLC

I received a $50.00 donation supporting Climate Rise Day of Action 2022! https://t.co/4JxMjmaU7o #Climateride

I worked with a masters student yesterday to pilot her protocol to collect biomechanics on volleyball players.

We used OpenCap then downloaded the data a few minutes later.

She couldn’t stop smiling. It was contagious.

I’m excited for the future of motion capture!

I received a $30.00 donation supporting Climate Rise Day of Action 2022! https://t.co/4JxMjmaU7o #Climateride

[Ricky Pimentel, PhD @PeruvianOx]

I donated in support of Climate Ride! https://t.co/4JxMjmaU7o

@allieelizbart @UNCcycling You got the sneak previews!

[Ricky Pimentel, PhD @PeruvianOx]

This week, I'm so lucky to race at Collegiate Mountain Bike Nationals again as a PhD student and veteran rider for @UNCcycling! So much has changed since I last competed in 2014, but its great to still be riding and meeting other amazing racers. Life is always better on a bike!

[Jason Franz @FranzBiomech]

Exciting years ahead @jointbme with a huge investment in the growth and vitality of our faculty! Kicking it off with this announcement: @jointbme and @UNCOrtho are hiring a joint tenure-eligible open rank position broadly related to musculoskeletal health.
