Hello Friends and Colleagues,
National Biomechanics Day has successfully introduced our favorite science (no, not cosmology, BIOMECHANICS!) to nearly 30,000 high school students through the generous and enthusiastic support of Biomechanists (did you think I was going to say, Cosmologists?) the world over including many ISB members. NBD celebrations have occurred in 28 nations surely supporting our mantra, Biomechanics is the Breakthrough Science of the 21st century! Thank you very much for your support.
NBD is now part of the Biomechanics firmament and as such is in a position to give back to our science community. In conjunction with ISB, we now announce our new program, National Biomechanics Day Outreach For Women in Biomechanics. The goals of the program are to support women biomechanists in creating an NBD 2021 event for young girls and to also provide travel support to ISB 2021 in Stockholm, Sweden. This program is available to women M.S. and Ph.D. students around the world.
Please see all details at the link just above. The submission deadline is January 31, 2021. If you are unfamiliar with NBD celebrations (then you must be a Cosmologist), please see about one billion great photos and videos in our NBD Archives.
Thank you to the ISB Executive Council for fighting for equality and inclusiveness in Biomechanics.
ISB Member and NBD Director,
Paul DeVita.
