    We would like to invite you to attend the 2009 Injury Biomechanics Symposium
    which will be held May 17th through May 19th, 2009 at The Ohio State
    University in Columbus, Ohio. The purpose of the symposium is to stimulate
    and reward strong injury biomechanics research among students and recent
    graduates. Attendees can expect original biomechanics research in a forum
    intended to foster communication between developing and established
    researchers.

    We are pleased to announce that 11 universities from around the world will
    be participating in the symposium. The symposium will feature 8 oral
    presentations and 10 posters. A small sample of the experimental and
    theoretical topics to be discussed includes:

    • Liver Injury Testing
    • Airbag Effectiveness
    • Frontal Bone Blunt Impact Trauma
    • Cervical Spine Instrumentation Technique
    • Material Properties of Pediatric Ribs
    • Head-First Impact Simulation
    • Inverse Dynamics Based Determination of Cervical Spine Loads

    Other Symposium events will include:
