Thank you canada (and csb)! reflections of a (somewhat recent) american immigrant on canadian biomechanics

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
In January 2005, I came to the University of Waterloo (and Canada) with little appreciation for the breadth and depth of biomechanics research in Canada. Over the last nearly decade and a half, I have seen this excellence persist and expand in dramatic ways. Most markedly, a transition from historic topical foci to incorporate other topics (personally, the upper limb!) is underway and promises practical and exciting contributions of biomechanics to Canada…and beyond! In this mercifully brief talk, I will highlight the unique culture and character of biomechanics in Canada, discuss how I have seen it grow and mature, and speculate on what the future may hold!
