Abstract Summary
Jean Landa Pytel was one of the founders of the American Society of Biomechanics (ASB), one of the first women in the biomechanics PhD program at the Pennsylvania State University and a mentor to many women in ASB. With her passing last year, it is timely to highlight the importance of mentoring (personified by Jean) and to explore the History of Women in Biomechanics and in ASB.Following a welcome and introduction of speakers, there will be a discussion of the background of Jean Landa Pytel with personal examples of the “power of one” from three of her mentees. A discussion of the importance of mentorship will include the value of networking and collaborating and the vital role of professional societies. A history of womens’ involvement/participation in ASB will conclude with take-home messages and an announcement about a new ASB award.
