The American Society of Biomechanics conference was this last weekend, and it went very well. In spite of my laptop commiting technological suicide an hour before my talk, the presentation went very well. Herzog's talk as the recipient of the Borelli award was jaw dropping as he showed actual sarcomere's contracting. The close to the conference was inspiring as I attended the symposium on modelling which included great talks by Casey Carrigan, BJ Fregley, and Scott Delp.
In other news, a few very good possibilities for jobs have opened up in Italy. I have not received any formal offers as of yet, but will be interviewing hopefully in the next month.
