Recently returned from the Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellows Study Tour across Germany with people spanning six contents visiting over 20 Germany cities in 13 days. It was one incredible trip with friends that will definitely last a lifetime! #myfellowfellows

Excited about collaborating with Ayah Ahmad and Maegan Tucker from Dynamic Mobility at Georgia Tech, our submission to #ICRA2025 is accepted.

Looking forward to #SICB2025! I'm presenting in two symposiums on elephants and bio-inspired materials! The first symposium is Saturday, January 4, from 10:00 am-10:30 am in Marquis C. If you are interested in entanglement, collagen imaging techniques, or biological composites, come by!

We are only a month out from #SICB2025 and I cannot wait to share what I’ve been doing during my postdoc. It’s gonna be great!

I'm excited about SICB next week in Seattle. Here are all of the talks myself and my collaborators are doing. If you want to learn some about skin, bio-inspired materials, elephant behaviors, or wrinkly physics come to say hi! 🐘

I think I hit my Twitter limit and am working on primarily migrating here. All engagement on the platform is from bots and getting what seems like an exponential increase of bot traffic on both personal & the SICB posts

THE NEXT 🐘🐘 PRE-PRINT IS OUT... I am very excited to share we finally know exactly how elephants develop their wrinkled trunks. It is through form (development) and function (lateralization & trunk pseudojoints). Want to learn more: biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

No one is safe when the postdoc takes a nap on the hammock...I will have to choose power nap locations more strategically in the future.

What a week this week. Got to visit my grandparents and they made me such a nice sign 🥺

Next paper of this week is up, on Conservation Tool creation! If you are interested in the Conservation Tech, Tech4Wildlife space, AI4Good, etc. this perspectives piece will hopefully be a guide for you to learn about the tools & techniques for conservation: https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2023.0232

New pre-print is up on the entanglement of collagen fibers in the elephant trunk dermis. Give it a read! Let me know what you think: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.08.11.553031v1

Excited that my review on hydrostat motion is now published in Biology Open Working with Krishma, Maggie, and Nikole on this piece was fantastic! We discuss the Structure-Function-Mechanism that drives hydrostat motion, paper here: https://doi.org/10.1242/bio.059834

What a conference! What a fun time! So awesome to start doing job market poster sessions as I enter the faculty job market!!

Hey #ASB2023 come check out the Comparative Biomechanics talks this week! Should be a great time discussing comparative biomechanics of bears and elephants with some Zoo outreach events!
August 7, 2023 at 6:21 PM
It is time for American Society of Biomechanics! I got to make a job poster and it was so fun! Check it out!

It was amazing this last week to present my work at the Comparative Neuromuscular Biomechanics technical group as a plenary speaker! Trip to Japan is complete! Next up...Knoxville, TN for American Society of Biomechanics! #ScienceSky

Was an incredible time at International society of biomechanics this week giving my first plenary talk! #ScienceSky
