Student Voices Episode 13: International Womxn in Biomechanics Nov 20, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, we were so excited to talk with the co-founders of the International Womxn in Biomechanics (IWB) group, Ana Ebrahimi and Jayishni Maharaj. IWB is a peer support group for early-career womxn in biomechanics. They teach us about the mission of this new group, why it's so needed in the field, and what they have planned for the future.

Episode 35: Enhancing Athletic Performance and Injury Prevention | Helen Bayne Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, we had the pleasure of speak with Dr. Helen Bayne lecturer, researcher, and sports scientist at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. We covered a range of topics from how she blends her positions as a researcher, a professor and a consultant, and how her beginnings as a gymnast and coach have informed her journey. We gain insights on working with athletes to improve their performance and overall health and potential pitfalls of working with wearables. Finally we learn from her unique perspectives working in South Africa and co-founding the South African Society of Biomechanics.
