While we still cannot meet in the traditional face-to-face format due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we would like to take this opportunity to face these challenging times as a local biomechanics community. We invite you all to come together for a dialogue that includes biomechanics research but also features the societal and cultural challenges that we are all facing today.
This year’s meeting will feature:
- Scientific idea-sharing forums to discuss biomechanics research in all stages
- Interactive discussion of BIPOC inclusion and access in biomechanics
- Remote education strategies in biomechanics
