  • Announcement: Skateboarding: Science and Medicine Symposium

    Save the Dates

    What: Science and Medicine of Skateboarding
    When: Saturday and Sunday, October 7 and 8, 2006 (tentative dates -
    to be confirmed in early 2006)
    Where: Irvine, California (that's in Orange County in Southern
    California)

    The Symposium will contain keynote lectures, but it will mainly
    provide a forum for free communications. Abstracts will be solicited
    for free communications (15 minute presentations followed by 5
    minutes of Q&A) in early 2006. There will be a proceedings volume
    published shortly after the symposium. We will provide the full
    details for abstract submission including the peer review process, in
    a formal announcement of the symposium to be sent out in early 2006.
