I made one for @JacqueColeLab!
I did it in Google Sheets using conditional formatting (each bar beside someone's name actually has text in it, 1-5, and then conditional formatting fills the cell and makes the text match the fill color. @jointbme
conditional formatting but with text changed to white/black. I figured this way if we want to change the colors at some point, like (as a totally random off-the-top-of-my-head example) make the technician purple, it's easy!
Last weekend we held our annual National Biomechanics Day event (@BiomechanicsDay, #NBD2024) in conjunction with MSEN Day. We combined expo-style events with some lab tours to show the students how cool our research is and how much we love biomechanics.
Many thanks to those who helped out, including people from the Translational Orthopaedic Research Lab (@mattbfish), the Advanced Wound Healing Lab (@BrownLab_NCSU), the Hand Rehabilitation Lab, and the Neuromuscular Control and Robotics Lab.
We had a great time last week visiting Ms. Byrd's 7th grade class at Wake Young Men's Leadership Academy (@WakeBoysLead) for SciMatch, part of the NC Science Festival (@ncscifest).
We talked about how our group is working to improve treatment options for knee injuries [1/6]
We started by telling them about ourselves in 7th grade
Not pictured: me at 12, the epitome of cool. In one picture I have a science Olympiad shirt on and in the other I'm surrounded by X-Files paraphernalia I got for my 12th birthday. So cool! 😎 [2/6]
Margaret and I talked about how MRI works (using photosensitive sun paper to convey that different types of tissue show up differently in an MRI) and how we use software to assemble the 2D images into a 3D model (stacking puzzles).
Kelvin even made his own sun paper art! [5/6]
The @arisimpacts#BroaderImpacts Summit came at a great time for @ncstate. We just launched a university-wide Societal Impacts of Research Task Force co-chaired by @jlpainte and @joryweintraub (not pictured but here in spirit). So many good ideas to take home!

I didn't think it was possible to enjoy this year's @arisimpacts conference more than last year's, but I did. Enjoyed meeting up with old friends (by which I mean people I met last year, but I feel like I've known my whole) and from so inspired by the amazing ARIS community.
