“Never underestimate your audience’s intelligence, always underestimate their vocabulary” is a rule I teach in my workshops.

And part of this is tone. Don’t act like your audience (family or not) is stupid for not knowing 15-syllable science words.

Here we are, ready to share the latest research in biomechanics! We're excited to connect with our readers, authors, reviewers, and editors here - follow us to stay updated on cutting-edge advancements!

Our biomechanical shoulder model now has full contact geometry, so the arm must navigate around the torso to reach behind...

I want to read a "What's the state of the field?" type review paper for musculoskeletal models of walking that compares our field to adjacent medically relevant fields (e.g. cardiac models).

Are there modeling communities we could use as 'templates' to improve the clinical impact of our science?

Check out our preliminary human-in-the-loop optimization work for powered ankle prostheses. While our algorithm explicitly aimed to increase ankle angle symmetry (and was successful), it also reduced risk factors of hip and knee OA as a side effect.
