About a year ago we started maintaining the BiomechSky feed, but I believe it's no longer useful.
Bluesky feeds allow for custom rules or logic to deliver a set of posts, but the BiomechSky feed was quite simple. It only cataloging posts that included #BiomechSky and included no additional logic.

I'm happy to share the pre-print for the Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling (NMSM) Pipeline. The pipeline is built on top of OpenSim and encompasses seven tools for personalizing models and design treatments using optimal control

An incoming Master’s student sat in on our final meeting before manuscript submission and I introduced the paper and answered some questions…
HOLY CRAP I know so much about my work!
It feels great to talk about your work and it reminds you of how much effort you put into it

I went from zero research experience to finishing my PhD in 3 years.
How?
1. I picked a lab and project that I could work on right away, avoiding the ‘onboarding’ period
2. I was upfront with my professor about finishing my degree in 3 years
3. I set quarterly goals and pushed myself to hit them

I’m still coming to terms with my successful thesis defense and end of my PhD.
I’ve asked my wife to start referring to me as ‘Doctor’…
She’s yet to do so.

🎉 Yesterday I successfully defended my thesis on the NMSM Pipeline and our new personalizable kinematic shoulder model
I will post links to pre-prints and my thesis soon!

The challenge with a biomechanics LLM is how to train it. A robot can't give useful answers when the questions asked to them are open research questions.
LLMs take existing knowledge, interpolate it, and word it nicely... oh and they lie sometimes too

The OpenSim Advanced User workshop was a great chance to see the variety of areas people are researching with computational biomechanics.
It's a shame a lot of the projects weren't able to reach their final goals, but this stuff takes time. So keep at it!

I spent a full day building OpenSim from source on an M2 laptop...
But I figured out how to compile OpenSim MEX files for Apple Silicon 😎

There was a recent biomch-l job posting looking for a biomechanist with a BS/MS/DPT
Pay rate: $15/hr
My rent is more than $15/hr 🤦♀️🙄

My favorite part about my PhD is learning way too much about MATLAB. Here's a great example of the beautiful language:
length("")
Now you might think the answer is 0... But you'd be wrong, it's actually 1
length("")
Now you might think the answer is 0... But you'd be wrong, it's actually 1

Seeing the wave of biomechanics people to Blue Sky is awesome!
I have some invite codes for biomechanics people, if needed to supplement

It turns out bsky changed their feed endpoint from bsky.social to bsky.network 3 days after BiomechSky was changed to a persistent server...
Anyway, it's updated now and should keep all new posts containing 'biomech'
If anyone wants other keywords or criteria for inclusion in the feed, let me know

I worked with @nrokh.bsky.social to add a new #BiomechSky that should maintain history indefinitely rather than 7 days.
I set it up to track any case of the letters 'biomech'.
If anyone has ideas for other keywords for BiomechSky or ideas for related feeds, let me know!

What is the future of biomechanics? Ease of access? Real world data collection?
We still haven't solved the problem of people looking at their gait analysis report and making no changes to their lifestyle/training/rehabilitation

I never engaged with biomedical engineering in undergrad because the sample project was an assistive device for rowing; 18 year old me couldn't care less.
Almost a decade later, I'm still not interested in rowing or assistive devices, but my best collaborators and friends are biomedical engineers 🤷♀️
