*First OpenSim Fellows Selected* We are pleased to announce the inaugural set of OpenSim Fellows<http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/display/OpenSim/OpenSim+Fellows>. This honor from the National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) recognizes a strong commitment to the OpenSim community and a deep expertise in biomechanical modeling and simulation. This first group of OpenSim Fellows includes 20 distinguished researchers from around the world, with a broad range of expertise. Fellows (listed alphabetically) include Ravi Balasubramanian, Friedl De Groote, Scott L. Delp, Matthew S. DeMers, Ayman Habib, Jennifer Hicks, Jill Startzell Higginson, Chand T. John, Ilse Jonkers, Glen A. Lichtwark, Luca Modenese, Jeffrey A. Reinbolt, Massimo Sartori, Ajay Seth, Michael A. Sherman, Ian Stavness, Kat M. Steele, Thomas K. Uchida, Brian R. Umberger, and Jack M. Wang. Visit the OpenSim Fellows Directory<http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/display/OpenSim/OpenSim+Fellows>to learn more about their background and expertise.
