Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Thanks to @jbiomech.bsky.social for highlighting our recent article on how people modulate stride frequency in walking, led by @russell-t-johnson.bsky.social #BiomechSky
😃 A new article published in J Biomech by Johnson & Umberger shows that walking at different stride frequencies at a fixed speed alters kinematics and GRFs, which are driven by coordinating by muscle-tendon mechanics.

Hello Bluesky! I am an assistant professor at Northwestern University in the Prosthetics-Orthotics Center. I primarily am interested in understanding the relationship between neuromuscular impairments and mobility. I'm excited to connect with other #BiomechSky people here
