Dear Subscriber,

We are pleased to present our Spring Newsletter with the latest ESB news, additional contributions of our awarded researchers, and of our corporate members.

We continue increasing the Newsletter functionality and the ability to do more adventurous things so please contact us with ideas of items you would like to see on our website and newsletter and these will be considered as the society continues to expand. If you do not wish to receive mailings including the newsletter and other updates from the European Society of Biomechanics you can update your settings in the membership section of the website here:

I hope you find the newsletter useful and informative.

Message from the President

The connection between Jürgen Habermas, one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, and the ESB may seem a bit far-fetched. In fact, I admit that it purely relies on coincidence, being the fact that he visited Leuven a few weeks ago, which happens to be the place where I live and work.

Student’s corner

At the ESB we have a new initiative: The ESB Mobility Award. Young researchers, take the chance to get to visit a foreign lab! The ESB Mobility Grant aims to provide ESB members with financial assistance to carry out collaborative research in a foreign country as part of their PhD or early postdoctoral research.

In this Section, you will find the report of a research stay at JHU – from Aurélie Carlier and some of the activities that will take place for the students at the 19th Congress of the ESB in Patras.

A tribute to Prof. Lawrence Katz

It is with great sadness that we report to you the death of prof. J. Lawrence Katz, senior member of the ESB. Larry Katz has made pioneering contributions to the field of bone and dental biomechanics, among others by the use of acoustic microscopy and ultrasound. As a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, he worked at the interface between biomaterials, biomechanics and biophysics. An interview with Larry Katz, dating from 1999 as part of the IEEE Global History Network can be found here. He will be truly missed.

 

ESB Chapters News

The latest news of the ESB Italian Chapter have been summarized in this section.

The Second Meeting of the Spanish Chapter took place in Seville on 25th October 2012. More than 60 Spanish researchers attended and 36 oral presentations took place at the 2nd Meeting.

Please note that any ESB active or student member in good standing and affiliated to an organisation located in Italy/Spain is also a rightful member of the Italian/Spanish National Chapter of the ESB. The same applies to corporate members whose legal site is located in Italy/Spain, and to honorary and senior members who are resident in Italy/Spain. ESB members of Italian/Spanish nationality, but working or resident in other countries, can also join the Chapter by sending a request to the President of the Chapter.
