Congratulations to Dr. Jennifer A. Nichols, assistant professor, who was recently awarded the 2018 American Society of Biomechanics (ASB) Young Scientist Postdoctoral Award. This award recognizes early achievements by promising young scientists who are within five years of receiving their PhD. Nichols will have the opportunity to present her work, entitled “Identifying Biomechanical Wrist Impairments with Machine Learning: A Feasibility Study,” during the awards Session at the ASB annual meeting in August.
 
The ASB’s mission is to encourage and foster the exchange of information and ideas among biomechanists working in different disciplines and fields of application, biological sciences, exercise and sports science, health sciences, ergonomics and human factors, and engineering and applied science, and to facilitate the development of biomechanics as a basic and applied science.
