Exciting news! Today I received an NOA from the National Institute on Aging funding my F32 Postdoctoral Fellowship.
A massive thank you to everyone who helped along the way, truly could not have gotten here without the incredibly supportive folks in my corner.

Can we alter older adult gait energetics by stiffening their footwear? Beats me! But I bet if you swing by Footwear & Foot Orthoses tomorrow (7/30) @10:40am in room C4 you might find out. See you there 🤓 #ISB2025
