Prof. Chang Liu did an amazing job with this behemoth of a project!!!

So happy our latest study is finally published!

We show that falls are a major issue across the lifespan for individuals with DCD (i.e., Dyspraxia).

Highlight reel from @ispgr.bsky.social 👇🏻
Had such a great time sharing our research and catching up with these awesome people!

What a week it was at #ISPGR2025 last week!

It was really special to have so many amazing colleagues productively interacting in our city (with encouragement from @melvynroerdink.bsky.social)! Thanks to all involved in the planning and organisation @ispgr.bsky.social and all who attended!

We write papers, but we build people.

You (yes, you, my fellow academic) too; please don’t forget that.

Great week at ISPGR! Massive thank you to the board and hosts for putting a great program together. Engaging and thought-provoking oral and poster presentations, reconnecting with colleagues and friends, and fostering new relationships! Already counting down to Kyoto 2027! 🇯🇵

Goodbye Maastricht and #ISPGR2025!

Conclusion: The World Congress of the @ispgr.bsky.social remains my favorite academic event and community.

I leave with new partners, new friends, and lots of fresh inspiration and ideas for future scientific advancements.

See you in Kyoto for #ISPGR2027!

Back home from my first @ispgr.bsky.social world conference

Enjoyed all the presentations and was particularly impressed by the high level of interaction within the society during both the oral and poster sessions. 👏
