Nicholas did a great job presenting his talk and poster at the recent Orthopaedic Research Society meeting in San Diego!

Four of our undergrads had abstracts accepted AND received travel awards to present at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) at the University of Memphis in April!! Congrats, Elizabeth, Harsha, Michael, and Sophie!

Jacque, Jon and Nicholas all travelled to Minneapolis for the annual Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) meeting. Both Jon and Nicholas were selected for talks, and they did a great job!

Elizabeth presented her research at the 25th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium at NC State. Her poster was titled “Obesity and Exercise-induced Bone Microarchitecture Changes are Associated with Bone Blood Perfusion in Mice”.

Andy gave a podium talk at the ORS (Orthopaedic Research Society) annual meeting in Orlando earlier this month. Congrats Andy!

The 2nd Herbert Fleisch workshop, sponsored by the International Bone and Mineral Society, was held in Bruges, Belgium February 28-March 1. Nicholas presented his research on “Monitoring exercise and diet-induced changes in tibial blood perfusion with laser doppler flowmetry in mice” [Abstract here].  Both Jacque and Nicholas attended, and had a great time networking and checking out the beautiful city of Bruges!

From the meeting report: “The second Herbert Fleisch Workshop was held in the beautiful city of Brugge, Belgium, on 28 February to 1 March, 2016. After the success of the first workshop, held also in Brugge in 2014, the IBMS board decided to support the repeat event as one that could be of great benefit to young investigators—PhD students, early postdoctoral researchers and early faculty members. This target audience was effectively reached, with 53% of the participants being younger than 35 and even up to 84% being below 45 years of age.”
