Congratulations to SBME Undergraduate Program Director, Professor Peter Cripton on being elected to the IRCOBI Council "I am humbled and honoured by my election to the Council as I consider it to be the top research organization in the field of injury biomechanics"

Happy to share our latest study published in Frontiers - Bioengineering and Biotechnology on #composite #hydrogels able to mimic native #ECM with strong mechanical properties and #biofunctionality to investigate cellular #mechanotransduction. Thank you to all the team at ETH Zurich! frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

Germany's Covid-19 expert: the “prevention paradox” has set in. People are claiming we over-reacted, there is political and economic pressure to return to normal normal.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr…

What action Angewandte Chemie takes after this analysis will be critical. So far in 2020, they profiled 25 authors as leaders (described their paths, gave advice to young scientists). How many women? 2 How many black/ brown people? 0 This piece hit a nerve for a reason. #ChemTwitter

Excited to join the Skeletal Mechanobiology & Biomechanics Lab for a new postdoctoral adventure. Goodbye Laboratory for Orthopaedic Technology - ETH Zurich. It was an amazing time. ETH Zurich BostonUniversity ME

With help from Yuanqiao Wu, Johnfredy Loaiza, Rohin Banerji and @LivBlouin, we aimed to measure the mechanical behavior of the human vertebral endplate, a thin, porous plate of bone tissue at the place where the intervertebral disc and connects to the vertebra. (2/9)

I want to share a thread about an approach that I’ve been using to mentor people in my lab with the goal of developing “expert learners” in the research environment.

I am looking forward to some interesting discussions.

Happy to contribute to science communication with Aurélie Levillain Ingmar Fleps Sangita Swapnasrita! Join us.

Undecided which session interests you most? Check out the sneak preview videos on the European Society of Biomechanics YouTube channel.

Impact simulations of falls from standing height investigated impact dynamics and fx risk. Lateral and posterior-lateral impacts were most dangerous, and hip protectors most effective for lateral and oblique impacts.

Last year @MarcoViceconti was awarded the Huiskes Medal for Biomechanics. He was interviewed about his career, life as PI, perspective on the future of biomechanics, & advice for future researchers. Now you can watch the whole interview or some chapters👇 youtube.com/watch?v=-IuBKO…

Submission open for the next #ESBiomech Journal club! A great opportunity for junior scientists to showcase their work in a short video and an open discussion with the #ESBiomech community. 🗓️Deadline: December 1st Eligibility criteria and dates in the thread 👇
