(Virtual) American Society of Biomechanics East Coast Meeting | October 4-11, 2020
The ASB East Coast Planning Committee has elected to hold our 2020 regional meeting virtually from October 4-11. The meeting will offer a variety of flexible programming options by highlighting research in various stages and allowing for an interactive dialogue on the current challenges in our field. Our goal is to offer a combination of both synchronous and asynchronous programming to allow attendees to participate at their convenience. These options will be made available at a minimal cost to meeting attendees over a week-long period.
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:
