From gearhead ⚙️ @TU_Engineering to bonehead 🦴@CityCollegeNY our #BlackExcellence of BME is @karl_j_lewis, Asst Prof @CornellBME. His lab studies the interplay of mechanical cues and biological changes in musculoskeletal tissues. Submit our next feature: bitly.ws/zCMp

So cool to be included in this series, thanks @BlackInBME !!

PSA: Bone has extremely dynamic embedded cells (osteocytes) about which we know little compared to other cell types. Most people I meet don’t know this … we need better PR! #orthotwitter #ScienceTwitter

Over 70% of youth athletes drop out of sports before they enter high school.. The reasons according to the kids themselves: Too much pressure to win, poor coaching, being forced to “choose” and specialize in a single sport at too early of an age, too expensive for parents, team/club politics, etc. If you Google “Youth Sports Drop Out” You’ll find multiple sources & studies.

ORS was saddened to learn of the death of Fred Nelson, MD. An active member of the society, he is perhaps best known as the author of the ORS Basic Science Tips. Prior to this death, he was interviewed about his Basic Science Tips as well as his involvement in ORS.

An amazing funding opportunity from @NIH_NIAMS aimed directly at tackling disparities in funding allocation! Bravo. Please spread the word 👨🏽‍🏫🧑🏻‍🔬🧑🏼‍💼👨🏻‍⚕️

Need a pick-me-up this week? Check out @NiamhNowlan's #ORSSpotlight, released this week in the ORS Connect. I love the advice to "follow your research passion(s), because it's much easier to keep up motivation if you're fascinated by what you're working on." @ORSsociety #ORSSMC
