mind blown.
Omar Cooper Jr.'s insane touchdown catch to put Indiana ahead 27-24 over Penn State may have been what finally broke Gus Johnson.

mind blown.
I'm happy to share a new paper from our group (@movementscience.bsky.social), accepted in @jexpbiol.bsky.social: Frequency and leg stiffness adaptation in human vertical hopping before, during and after added load.

We've grown more and more interested in the role of fatigue in shaping locomotor behavior. Our latest paper points to a functional consequence of the increased physiological demand placed on calf muscles when operating at shorter lengths—namely accelerated fatigue.

But also: these scholars moved from all over the world, often with personal sacrifice, to work here. they are part of our broader Cambridge and MA community, too. They have lives here: partners with jobs, families, kids in school, apartment leases, pets, friends, etc.

Mines ME PhD student Will Feldman presenting his evaluation of muscle excitations and joint kinetics during hopping at Mines Graduate Research and Discovery Symposium! Great work! Excited for this collaboration with @lukenjessup.bsky.social and @birdbiomech.bsky.social #IMSI #Biomechanics

Finally got my own copy. Anyone aware of any groups *currently* invested in making direct measurements of muscle energetics?
