The CSB-SCB podcast is owned and operated by the Canadian Society for Biomechanics. Student Representatives, Jackie Zehr and Franziska Onasch, interview experts (academics, industry professionals, practitioners) about the science and practice of biomechanics. Interdisciplinary topics are discussed with a particular focus on research, technology, evidence-based practice, and knowledge translation in the field of biomechanics. New episodes are released on the first Monday of each month. For questions and inquiries, email students@csb-scb.com. --- Le podcast CSB-SCB est détenu et exploité par la Société Canadienne Biomécanique. Les étudiants représentatives, Jackie Zehr et Franziska Onasch, interviewent des experts (universitaires, professionnels de l'industrie, praticiens) à propos de la science et pratique biomécanique. Des sujets interdisciplinaires sont discutés avec un accent sur la recherche, la technologie, la pratique factuelle et l'application des connaissances dans le domaine de la biomécanique. Nouveaux épisodes sont publiés le premier lundi de chaque mois. Si vous avez des questions ou demandes, envoyez un courriel à students@csb-scb.com.
Guest Biography:
Dr. Jack Callaghan is a Professor in Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo with cross-appointment to the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering. He is the Tier I Canada Research Chair in Spine Biomechanics and Injury Prevention and the Director of the Centre of Research Expertise for the Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders (CRE-MSD). Dr. Callaghan’s research program combines a fundamental in-vitro research approach, examining the time varying response of the lumbar spine tissues, with in-vivo human research, examining biological responses to cumulative loading exposure from both pain generating and tissue altering/injuring perspectives. Research in his laboratories involves developing approaches to assess workplace cumulative loading exposure and injury in conjunction with in-vitro tissue mechanics studies investigating the injury pathways from repetitive loading. This knowledge will complement existing epidemiological data, linking cumulative loading and low back pain, for setting exposure limits and helping to prevent low back injuries. Dr. Callaghan has served the CSB-SCB as Conference Chair (2006) and President (2006-2008). He is also a Career Award recipient (2014) and a Fellow of the society (2014).
