conditional formatting but with text changed to white/black. I figured this way if we want to change the colors at some point, like (as a totally random off-the-top-of-my-head example) make the technician purple, it's easy!

I made one for @JacqueColeLab! I did it in Google Sheets using conditional formatting (each bar beside someone's name actually has text in it, 1-5, and then conditional formatting fills the cell and makes the text match the fill color. @jointbme

Last weekend we held our annual National Biomechanics Day event (@BiomechanicsDay, #NBD2024) in conjunction with MSEN Day. We combined expo-style events with some lab tours to show the students how cool our research is and how much we love biomechanics.

So cool!

Of course we made sure to pose with Kelvin! [6/6] @mattbfish @jacobdthompson2 @rickyukun @jointbme @NCState

Margaret and I talked about how MRI works (using photosensitive sun paper to convey that different types of tissue show up differently in an MRI) and how we use software to assemble the 2D images into a 3D model (stacking puzzles). Kelvin even made his own sun paper art! [5/6]

Ricky showed off the hand crank tensile testing system. The intent was to break rubber bands and measure forces but really they just wanted to see who could turn the handle the fastest 😂. [4/6]

Jacob helped them use a meniscus mold to create alginate gel 'implants' [3/6]
