A good crowd this evening @esbcongress.bsky.social opening ceremony. So nice to see many friendly faces

Definitely worth pointing out in response, and even reporting if "no ai" is part of the review policy (not sure if this is paper or grant...)

Yes!! I've signed up to help with open day on Saturday so I can be 100% sure that Monday next week will be very confusing!!

The abstract submission deadline of BioMedGen2025 @biomedeng25.bsky.social has been extended. You still have the chance to submit until the 19th of May. Meet us all in Glasgow😊:

👉 biomedeng.org/biomedeng25/

📢 funded #PhD available for UK-rated students!
🔎 Do you have an Engineering background with experience in Finite Element Analysis?
📚 Join us to contribute to research on spinal interventions, with a focus on #biomechanics

📆 apply by 30/05 - see all info including how to apply at lnkd.in/dUh-tpx2

Yes! I usually start chasing at 5 or 6 months wait

While I thought it was much longer, my data says longest was 9 months (the revised version then took another 7 months, hence my recollection of a long wait); shortest 3 weeks. Median (N=36) is 3 months

Look at that weird joint asymmetry - caused us a bit of a headache!!

Job Opportunity at University of Leeds: Research Assistant in Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Do you have a strong technical background in experimental biomechanics with an interest in musculoskeletal joints? Would you like to work as part of a multidisciplinary institute to address a clinical...

📢 we're hiring!
📚 Do you want to contribute to research on musculoskeletal interventions?
🔎 Do you have a background in CT and MRI analysis?
Join us to support research projects on preclinical testing of interventions in the spine (and knee, maybe)!

I agree indeed that the CV and capacity to deliver are not the same thing and hence CV (narrative or not) is not useful. The fact that in TFS, the section for narrative CV is called "applicant and team capability to deliver", is laughable

Interesting view. I've seen the opportunity in a narrative CV (writing and reviewing) to tailor information, providing specific evidence of the capacity to deliver a project (highlighting aspects of experience which is not obvious to state in a traditional CV) alongside being a broad researcher.

Late welcome from me!

I missed Tom's unfortunately but Kay presented some great data on subsidence!!

Amazed by seeing patient names and dob when surgeons use x-ray views of patients on conference slides. @britspine.bsky.social, wondering if it is worth reminding presenters about confidentiality (or nobody reads instructions anyway)...

Tagging @britspine.bsky.social ! Little #biomechanics this year but a great programme nevertheless

This week, the team is in Manchester for #BritSpine2025 www.linkedin.com/posts/marlen... a great opportunity to present lab work to a much clinical audience

2 photos of an experimental setup showing spine tissue from sheep with different sensors for displacement and pressure measurements.

Latest paper is the first from my #EPSRC @ukri.org NIA presenting a methodology to evaluate facet joint #biomechanics with evidence that aged ovine #spine model for method development was not the best idea but literature led us to believe it was doi.org/10.1016/j.jb...

On the same story, crosscountry trains are very poorly designed: I always end up with terrible upper back pain when I travel with them!!!

I got lucky: I travelled to Swansea for a viva planned tomorrow. I asked the University to book accommodation for me, asking for 1 night on Wednesday 4th... which obviously does not exist, and the room was booked for yesterday. 1 room left at the hotel, and they only asked for the price difference!

A misty Moor today at Ikley!

I have started an Orthopaedic Research Starter Pack! Link: go.bsky.app/61hCir6. I am happy to add people -- comment below to be added!

Thanks for the inclusion. Could consider adding @sophie-williams.bsky.social

Sooo many people!

Big News! 🚀

#BioMedEng25 is coming to Glasgow in September 2025! ✨

Join leading biomedical engineers, researchers, and innovators as we explore the future of healthcare technology, medtech, and bioengineering. 🧬💡

📍 Hosted by the Universities of Strathclyde & Glasgow

📅 4 & 5 September 2025

Can't see it without reposting it!

I don't have good equipment for a photo but delighted with the clear views of Mars, Jupiter, and Venus (as well as Betelguse) on this very clear evening on my way home just after sunset. #planetaryalignment #nightsky

Welcome, Sophie! You can find biomechanics folks through this starter pack bsky.app/profile/aaga...

And here it is. In this combined experimental and computational study, we demonstrate the need for thickness of the cartilage to be patient specific to capture contact #biomechanics of the knee doi.org/10.1177/0954...
