🚨 AIMBE calls on the scientific community to take a minute to send our new advocacy letter urging Congress to support the immediate reauthorization of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) & Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs! Please share 👇 takeaction.io/aimbe/sbir-s...

SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Urgently Needed

Use AIMBE's letter template below to send an email to your Members of Congress on issues that matter. We encourage you to edit and personalize the note, sharing your individual experience. Please note...

SBIR and STTR funding mechanisms are critical for tech transfer, but they've lapsed! AIMBE can help you quickly send a letter to your congressional representatives to ask that they be reinstated. See info below.

Today was a great day for our annual lab hike up Mt Monadnock (NH). A great team building activity and fun to take many students who have never hiked or climbed a mountain before!

It was a real privilege and pleasure to return to the University of Iowa to honor my mentor at the dedication of the Thomas D Brown Biomechanics Research Lab. The fact that 13 of his 19 former PhD students attended says a lot about the lasting impact of his mentorship. @karenkruger.bsky.social

AIMBE has developed a new advocacy letter on the changes to NIH indirect cost rates: aimbe.org/advocate/wri... We urge the broader biomedical research community to customize this letter (<1 minute) to contact your congressional representatives about the severe consequences of this new policy 👇

not paying indirect costs for research is like only paying the players in the Super Bowl. can't have a Super Bowl without coaches, referees, security, janitors, announcers, stadium staff, and a stadium - and you can't have research without supporting people and facilities

AIMBE has posted a public statement on the impact of federal policy changes on biomedical research: aimbe.org/advocate/wri... Above, we have also developed an advocacy letter for members of the medical & biological engineering community to send to their congressional representatives on this matter.

One of the best parts of my job is seeing the impact that I can have on my students. One former undergrad just stopped by my office with this lovely keychain they made for me -- in my favorite color and complete with my lab name (MBL - musculoskeletal biomechanics lab) and a foot skeleton!

Calling all orthopedic computational modeling folks attending #ORS2025! Please join us for the Digital Twins Research interest group on Monday night! There will be speakers, poster pitches, and great discussions and networking!

Hi all - here's to hoping that this platform doesn't get overrun with anti-science, anti-respect-for-all-people right wing conspirators. Will occasionally post science stuff here.
