As runners increasingly adopt new technologies to monitor their performance, a University of Oregon Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance researcher has developed a simpler, more accurate method for calculating the physical characteristics of walking and running. 

The 2025 Society for Biomaterials Annual Meeting is set to take place in Chicago from April 9–12. This year’s theme, “Half a Century of Progress: Crafting Resilience in Mind and Matter,” highlights the field’s advancements and future directions. We’re excited to have several Knight Campus faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students presenting their work at the conference.

Pioneering researcher, innovator and educator Jim Hutchison headlines the Knight Campus’ ninth annual community science lecture, Science Knight Out, on May 1.
