The International Women in Biomechanics (IWB), a new ISB affiliated society, has released their new website and membership database: https://www.intwomenbiomech.org/. The new website offers a means for the biomechanics community to exchange information, foster connections, and promote gender equity in the field of biomechanics.
An exciting feature of the website is the release of a Public Repository of women and other underrepresented genders in biomechanics! IWB maintains this list so that anyone in biomechanics can readily consider IWB members for invited talks, award nominations, research collaborations, and more.
IWB membership runs on a calendar year (all 2024 memberships expire Dec 31, 2024) and are offered at three levels, including a discounted rate for students/trainees*:
- Professional Members (10 USD)
- Trainee Members (5 USD)
- Supporter/Ally Members (5 USD)
Dues will support IWB in multiple ways, including the maintenance of the website and member-only content and programs. IWB membership comes with several perks, including:
- Directory access to readily find IWB members by country and research area
- Access to Message Boards, including job postings and teaching resources
- Support and resources for biomechanics award nominations
- Member-only event access and Resources to support your career, professional development
- …and more!
IWB is grateful to the ISB for their support through the Affiliate Society Membership program. The ISB community is invited to continue their support of IWB and take advantage of these exciting features and perks on the IWB website. Your involvement is what makes this an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone in biomechanics!
