Your occasional reminder that if you teach Scientific Writing, or you're going to - so do I, and my syllabus and class materials are available here:
Reporting the death of Prof Alan M. Wilson FRS in a light plane crash in Namibia, while doing wildlife research. He was 62. He built and flew his own planes but I do not know if he either built or flew this one. He even flew from London to Cromer to meet me for lunch (he brought cake). Devastated.

Do we really need to do research specifically on women's health?
The REBOOT trial finds beta-blockers - a standard therapy for heart attacks - causes harm in women, but not men.
Yes.
The answer is yes.

Will you be at ISB or ASB in the coming weeks? Definitely come talk to me or someone from our group about a new Postdoc Position we are looking to fill asap in foot neuromechanics, aging, and gait. I'll post the official call for applications soon. Join us at UNC Chapel Hill! Reposts encouraged.
Data on #cardiac workload during submaximal #exercise by healthy subjects provides evidence for association with skeletal muscle tissue saturation index, independent of other variables, implicating regulation by altered skeletal #muscle #oxygenation.

Do changes in countermovement jump variables follow the presence of low-frequency force depression?
😃 In a new article published in J Biomech, Li et al investigated the effects of a powered prosthetic foot that includes a monoarticular powered prosthetic foot and a biarticular gastrocnemius muscle actuator on nine non-impaired subjects while walking on a treadmill.

New paper out in Scand J Med Sci Sports!
We tested the reliability of running economy (RE) and other physiological parameters during 90 min of running.
➡️ Running economy is highly reliable in a fatigued state, a 👍🏼 implication for testing durability

A group of trekkers in heavy gear hike along a steep, rocky slope with snowy Himalayan mountains behind them. Some wear oxygen tanks or carry scientific equipment. Badges on their jackets identify them as part of a research expedition.
My wife just left for 6 weeks of archaeological field school.
It made me think of mine: trekking in Nepal, collecting biomechanics data at altitude.
When the field becomes the classroom, every step teaches something new. 🏔️📐
