Fresh ink! We look at how the skulls of rock-wallabies change with size and how size influences jaw anatomy and biting ability The tiniest species seem to be particularly good at biting Vera Weisbecker (she/her on Kaurna land) Meg Martin royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

ANNOUNCEMENT - Applications Open: Sunday 21 April I will be continuing #20phds20mins on Einstein A Go Go – Group 9! 3rrrfm 20 PhD students will be selected from the applications received by 5pm Sunday 7th April AEST. Each interview will be approximately 1 minute long. PhD

We would be grateful if you could spread the word about our study and encourage participation 😊

Young scientists regularly ask me for career advice. Academia or industry? Big company or startup? US or Europe?  Good scientists in AI disciplines are fortunate to have many choices. But choosing can be stressful. I always give the same advice. 1/10

There's no better place to learn about the structures of the human body than HSC's Anatomy Lab! And no better teachers than our amazing faculty and graduate students. The team hosted an in-person experience last week for students in our online MS in Medical Science program.

My lab is recruiting a postdoc to work on ML-based task-agnostic exoskeleton control and/or lower limb prosthesis design and control. Come join us in Boston! Shepherd Lab: shepherdlab.sites.northeastern.edu Apply here: northeastern.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/careers/job/Bo…

New ink! Vera Weisbecker (she/her on Kaurna land) @KarlVernes We sampled the machanical properties of bettong and potoroo foods, including roots/tubers, truffles, nuts/seeds, and more. A fun little study with some super important data! 🤓 Flinders University Flinders Palaeontology publish.csiro.au/AM/AM24006

Excited for my first paper on paediatric prosthetic knee design to be published! We used a new OpenSim model to show that the technical requirements of swing phase control correlate with parameters of childhood growth. Prof Rich_Jones ExHoDBioengineering ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum…

At the risk of having my DMs blow up with messages, I'm looking for some guests for Einstein A Go Go on 3rrrfm to round out the calendar until the end of the year. Specifically, PhDs, EMCRs in STEM are most welcome. Give me a yell, in particular if you have never done radio

Ok maybe Friday evenings work better for my algorithm? 🫠 Check out our new publication on terminology preferences in people with limb loss and difference! Free access for the next month is provided in the link in my original tweet. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Join our team! The Shepherd Lab is recruiting one postdoc (flexible start) and one PhD student (Fall 2025). Project areas include mechatronic design for prosthetics and exos, preference-based optimization, data-driven control, and biomechanics. shepherdlab.sites.northeastern.edu/research/
