Elevating the representation, reputation, and visibility of members.


Key Objectives

Drawing showing women in the spotlight

Spotlight on Women in Biomechanics

We aim to make women in science more visible, to make science more accessible to the public, and to encourage the next generation of women scientists to pursue biomechanics. We release “Member Spotlights” and “Paper of the Quarter” threads on social media, and share a newsletter to promote our members’ research to a broader audience.

Resources and Blogs

We host a member-written blog where members share their advice and perspectives on various topics, with several focusing on career and professional development.
