Comparative Neuromuscular Biomechanics Technical Group

The Comparative Neuromuscular Biomechanics (CNB) technical group was out in full force at the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) conference held January 2-6 2024 in Seattle, USA. SICB attracted more than 2000 conference attendees and really is a global hub of comparative biomechanics. Here are just some of the CNB Group highlights from the SICB conference:

 

  • Workshop on Advancing accessibility, collaboration, and training in use of model-based and analytical tools in organismal biology led by Board member Monica Daley.
  • Symposium talks by Board members Chris Richards, Armita Manafzadeh, and Taylor Dick.
  • CNB Poster led by Board member Jonas Rubenson.
  • Presentations at the Division of Comparative Biomechanics and Division of Vertebrate Morphology member meetings to share CNB’s mission.

 

One of the CNB highlights of the conference was the CNB Social which attracted many biologists to a local pub to talk science and catch up with old and new friends and colleagues.

 

Upcoming CNB events:

American Society for Biomechanics, Madison WI, USA, 5-8 August 2024

The CNB is coordinating a thematic poster session at this years meeting for the American Society for Biomechanics to be held in Madison Wisconsin, USA in August. To facilitate coordination of CNB relevant sessions, we ask individuals to add ‘comparative’ as a keyword during the abstract submission if they feel that their work would suit a broader comparative theme (yes humans are animals too). Stay tuned for details of a CNB social gathering in Madison.

International Society of Biomechanics in Sockholm, Sweden,  27-31 July 2025

CNB is collaborating with researchers at the University of Jyväskylä to host a satellite symposium in association with the next International Society of Biomechanics meeting in Stockholm, Sweden in July 2025. The program planning is well underway…stay tuned for more updates soon.
