Program Chair Alena Grabowski
I’m very excited to promote the ASB 2021 scientific program and look forward to virtually seeing everyone in August. I’ve assembled and have been meeting with a fantastic program committee to develop an interactive program that is focused on delivering high-quality scientific presentations and facilitating discussions. The program will be aimed at promoting diverse perspectives within biomechanics. Below are a few highlights from the upcoming program: • Keynotes from: Dr. David Hu, who has expertise in comparative biomechanics and locomotion and has earned an Ig Nobel for his research, and Dr. Cara Wall-Scheffler, who has expertise in the fields biomechanics, locomotor energetics, telemetry physiology, paleontology, archaeozoology, and behavioral ecology and studies how women in particular have a rare (among mammals) ability to work both efficiently (energy per unit mass) and economically (total energy) when carrying loads. • Interactive podium and poster sessions • The 3-min thesis competition • Professional development sessions • Symposia • Award sessions • Tutorials

Please look for the call for abstracts and for volunteer abstract reviewers, which will be posted within the ASB email blast and on the ASB website in January. • Abstracts will be a 1-page format. • The abstract template will be available when the call for abstracts is announced in early Jan. • The abstract submission deadline will be Monday March 15, 2021 at 5pm MDT and will not be extended. The ASB conference will be held virtually Aug. 10-13, 2021. We look forward to an exciting program and to sharing biomechanics research!
