Please repost! We have a second biomechanics faculty position!

This is an open rank clinical-track position in sports biomechanics at the University of Michigan. This is a largely teaching-focused position and we have outstanding resources to support teaching and student learning. #BiomechSky

To celebrate National Biomechanics Day (April 9th), I made a foldable mini-comic to highlight just a few of the amazing things biomechanists are up to!

Just download, print, and fold:

FYI, Many NBDs occur on the official date but many others occur on many other dates. Please remember you can hold your NBD any day that works best for you. Eg, we will see NBDs report in through the summer.

So, it's not too late to register and hold an #NBD2025 celebration. Join the party!
