    ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

    It is our pleasure to announce the First Upper Midwest Student Regional
    Meeting of the American Society of Biomechanics to be held November 12
    and 13, 2004 in Minneapolis Minnesota.

    The Upper Midwest Student Regional Meeting seeks to foster the
    professional development of graduate and undergraduate students in
    biomechanics by providing students an opportunity to present their
    research to the biomechanics community. As such, only graduate and
    undergraduate students in biomechanics are eligible to present papers
    at the conference. Details regarding the abstract submission process
    and presentation format can be found at the conference website,
    www.orthotrauma.us/asb.htm

    The conference also seeks to promote biomechanics and to increase the
    exchange of ideas among biomechanics programs within the Upper Midwest.
    It is organized in conjunction with two associated biomechanics and
    orthopaedic research symposia occurring in Minneapolis on the same
    weekend.
