@UWaterloo Students! Our lab is always looking for opportunities to work with students from many disciplines to do the work we do. Some opportunities listed below. For example KIN391 is a research assistant position for course credit. Take it as an elective for any program!
We are #hiring! Please share widely with your networks.
The Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences at the University of Waterloo is hiring 2 new #tenuretrack faculty positions:
Neural Control of Mobility
Human Cardiopulmonary Physiology

Today marks the launch of the Federal Open Science Repository of Canada - this is an important step forward in #openscience in 🇨🇦.
Huge congrats to the departments and agencies who worked relentlessly to make this happen! 👏👏👏

For @ChiefSciCan, the arrival of the Federal Open Science Repository is a significant step forward in enabling greater openness of government #research and helps promote a culture of #science for all.

It’s okay to not be okay. If you need help, or if you know someone who does, please reach out by calling or texting 9-8-8. That’s the number for Canada’s new suicide crisis helpline – and it’s now available across the country, in English and French, 24/7.
Had a great time presenting mine and @multisensebrain’s work titled “Individual Differences in Cybersickness Development: The Role of Sensory Reweighting in VR” at #SfN23@SfNtweets! Met a a lot of great people and talked cool science 🧠
Hey #SfN2023 be sure to visit mbclab.ca PhD candidate @Siyavashizadi tomorrow Sunday November 12 2-3pm where he will present our poster (board CC3) entitled "Individual differences in cybersickness development: the role of sensory reweighting in VR"
✈️ The Collaborative Aeronautics Program (CAP) introduces a groundbreaking fusion of graduate studies in aeronautics with the human-centered principles of kinesiology!

Excited to be in beautiful Lisbon for @TimingForum#TRF3 to give a talk Friday 9am in Symposium 12: Temporal and Multisensory Processing in Virtual Reality & a poster (#26) during Poster Session 3: When time tilts: The influence of body orientation on motion perception timing
Thank you #csbbcs2023 for letting me share some science "Questioning our own work" which covered the evolution of our fall perception research program that started with the work of Julian Lupo up to our MBCLab's latest paper by Robert McIlroy sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Day 1 of @OfficialCSBBCS#csbbcs2023 done! We MBClab attendees celebrated with a visit to the cannon (a must since I am a @uofg alum!), and some ice cream!
Great science and fun at @ISPGR#ispgr2023! Always a pleasure to connect with colleagues to share and make new memories. I highly recommend visiting the colourful city of Brisbane if you have never been!
#ispgr2023 Here are the results of the survey we ran for our Symposium 4: Stepping forward with immersive technology to study, assess, and intervene on locomotor behaviour. @ISPGR please RT this thread 1/5
