Hello, Biomechanists Worldwide…

 

National Biomechanics Day 2024 celebrated our Breakthrough Science for the ninth1 consecutive year on five continents around the world. Again, over 4,000 high school students, and some other grades, participated in 58 NBD celebrations. These totals raise our participants to >44,000 students and 616 total NBDs. 

 

NBD successfully held its grant programs for the fourth consecutive year. We received 42 submissions from 33 countries and funded 22 applications from seven nations with $19,970. These programs supported women, Black, and LatinX students as well as biomechanists working in the area of disability. NBD has now provided ~$70,000 to support the growth and development of our science. We give special acknowledgment to Bertec, Inc., American Society of Biomechanics, and Books of Discovery for their direct support of these programs.

 

We have some outstanding videos including these two favorites this year:

Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Cal State East Bay

The UNAM event was directed by María Daniela Trejo Méndez, NBD Grant recipient and Raúl Gerardo Paredes Guerrero, her faculty advisor. Cal State NBD was Vanessa Yingling and Michael Rowley, NBD stalwarts!

 

As always, we cannot accomplish our goals without the support of the scientific and commercial foundations of biomechanics, our many sponsors, all of whom broadly support our science in so many ways.

With your continued support, with the support of our sponsors, and with new biomechanists joining NBD each year, we strive to make Biomechanics the Breakthrough Science of the 21st Century!!!!

 

Biomechanics, where science meets fun!

 

Sincerely,

Paul DeVita, Lisa MacFadden and Felipe Carpes, Executive Board of The Biomechanics Initiative, Inc

1 Two NBD celebrations were held in early 2020 just prior to shutting down for the COVID pandemic.
