Tune into the OpenSim Workshop on Human-Robot Interaction 8:30am CDT Friday, May 25, 2018 Join members of the OpenSim team at the Dynamic Walking Conference for an interactive tutorial on using OpenSim to model and simulate human-robot interaction. View the workshop and other talks at the conference via the livestream link<http://ow.ly/Wf1S30k7Wj8>. The full schedule can be found here<http://ow.ly/bO4o30k7WkP>. Share Your Research at World Congress of Biomechanics (WCB) Exhibit Booth Forms<https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2t8b3j7KOC9farr> are due on Monday, May 28, 2018 This year the OpenSim team is hosting an exhibit booth at WCB, and we are asking for your contributions to make it a success. If you are presenting a talk or poster at WCB, have a movie or demo to share, or could help lead a meet-up, please fill out this form<https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2t8b3j7KOC9farr> by Monday, May 28th. 2018 NCSRR Visiting Scholars Announced The NCSRR will host its eighth round of Visiting Scholars this summer. The program is a unique experience that fosters expertise and collaborations in biomechanical simulations for rehabilitation research. We've selected five exceptional candidates from a highly competitive pool of applicants. Congratulations to our 2018 Scholars: Michael Asmussen, Simon M. Danner, Suzanne Cox, Jayishni Maharaj, and Lance Rane. Read more about the scholars and their projects<http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/scholars.html>. Wide-Range of Research at Recent Advanced User Workshop The NCSRR hosted 26 individuals from around the world at our Advanced User Workshop from March 28-30, 2018. During the three-day event, individuals worked closely with the NCSRR staff to advance their projects on a wide-range of topics, including analysis of dynamic function in adult spinal deformity; simulating the impact of glenohumeral joint loading and muscle compensation on rotator cuff tear severity; and personalizing exoskeleton controller design for assisted walking.

Join us for OpenSim activities at World Congress of Biomechanics 2018

Dear OpenSim Community: We look forward to seeing many of you at the World Congress of Biomechanics (WCB) this July! This year the OpenSim team is hosting an exhibit booth at WCB, and we are asking for your contributions (movies, demos, time) to make it a success. Our vision for the booth is that it will be a community hub, a place to exchange ideas about OpenSim and build OpenSim-based collaborations. Specifically, we are looking for: * Volunteers to lead research- or location-based meet-ups at the conference * Demos that showcase OpenSim's capabilities * Movies to highlight the diversity of OpenSim applications * WCB presentations and posters showcasing OpenSim research. We will compile these into a list to promote at the conference. Please fill out this form<https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2t8b3j7KOC9farr> by Monday, May 28th, to let us know if you can help, if you are presenting, or if you have materials to share. Thanks! Joy --- Joy P.
