Cold plunging is all the rage, but do ice baths work? While it’s not a miracle cure, there may indeed be some health benefits to the trend, according to a recent research paper by UO professor and @wutsaialliance at Oregon investigator Chris Minson https://bit.ly/455okqf
If you missed Science Knight Out, the Knight Campus' annual community science talk — or would like to see it again — a recording of the May 1 event is now available on the Knight Campus You Tube Channel. This year's featured presenter was Mike Hahn, a biomechanics specialist whose research is focused on lower limb musculoskeletal biomechanics, injury prevention and performance enhancement. In his talk, Hahn — who also serves as associate director of the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance at Oregon — demonstrated how new sensor technologies and the use of machine learning algorithms are helping to train faster runners and more nimble soccer players — and changing the game for players in all sports. https://lnkd.in/gU4K8Zjx
Thanks to everyone who joined us today for the Spring Entrepreneurship Speaker Series. Outstanding talk by Sean McClain about his journey from basement lab to leading generative AI drug creation company (Absci) on a mission to create better biologics for patients, faster.
