We ended this year's series of #ENGR3566 guest presentations on a high note with Dr. @cfirminger from @UCalgary & @McCaigInstitute talking about his studies of tendon strain in cycling!

Enjoyed having Dr. Chris Mills, Dr. @EmmaNeupert, & @Jon_White2 join us virtually from @UoPSportScience yesterday. Two great talks on seat design for F1 drivers & the effects of track bends/inclination on running biomechanics! #ENGR3566

Another great pair of guest lectures this morning in #ENGR3566 from Andrew Koshyk & Michael Kuczynski (@mkuczyns14) ! We learned about the fatigue behaviour of equine bone, the use of dynamic CT to understand thumb motion in OA, & how interdisciplinary biomedical research can be.

Started my Friday by checking my spam folder for false positives and noticed I received some messages from some fairly famous folks, including Dr. Oz & Kate Winslet! Nice try scammers. Katie would never call me “Dr. Lievers” and we normally message on WhatsApp.

Grateful to Dr. @giacomo_valle, currently at @UChicago, for his incredible guest lecture this morning about the state of the art in providing sensory feedback in prosthetics. Amazing stuff! #ENGR3566

The boy and his mom have been busy prepping for a bake sale. Got to drop him & his baking off at school, but didn't get to sample his wares.

I had an 8:30am class this term & tried using “attendance selfies” to incentivize showing up (i.e., when the animal pic comes up, snap a selfie, submit for marks). There's was an obvious decline over the term, but I still averaged almost 84% of students! I'm calling that a win.

Thanks to whoever set up this memorial in the atrium to the 14 women killed in the 1989 École Polytechnique attack. #dec6 #rememberthe14

As per tradition, p(r)izes were handed out today in #ENGR1501 to the top 3 teams in our “Ring-Pong 2023” engineering design challenge! Always interested to see the order in which the pies get selected. This year it was: 🥇apple 🥈pecan 🥉cherry Which would you choose first?

This is an exception to the "clean the chalk boards before you leave" standard I wish more people would follow. #ClassroomChalkboardArt

We covered an introduction to intellectual property this morning in #ENGR1501, which allowed me to share the greatest patent figure ever created with my students. U.S. Patent 4,656,917 granted to Edward L. Van Halen.

Sudbury’s Golden Grain Bakery has announced they will be closing at the end of the month. I guess our consumption of 🍞🥖🥧 will have to increase for the next few weeks as we say goodbye.

My daughter has been re-watching Gilmore Girls & thought this scene, where one character makes a case against tenure, was hysterical. It aired before I became a prof but still feels a bit personal. (I don't think I've lost all interest or that I teach like Jimmy Kimmel…)
