7th Annual Injury Biomechanics Symposium
The Injury Biomechanics Research Laboratory recently hosted the 7th Injury Biomechanics Symposium. Over 100 attendees participated in this year’s event, including 21 students from 14 different Universities. The keynote address by Mike Beebe, the stimulating presentations by students, and our very educational, yet entertaining guest speakers made this symposium a successful venue that provided a unique atmosphere for professional communication between developing and established researchers.
