Second up from NU is @Pad_Spillane great work 👏🏻👍🏻 #ECSS2025 @E_C_S_S @NUSportEx
I’m incredibly honoured to receive the International Society of Motor Control Early Career Investigator Award. This recognition reflects the amazing mentors, collaborators, and trainees I’ve had the privilege to learn from and work alongside. Thank-you all! 🙏
🚨 New preprint! 🚨 Thrilled to share work from my postdoc in the @NCMLab @univofstandrews exploring the intrinsic properties of mouse gamma motoneurons during development, providing insight into how these cells are tuned to support motor function. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Chronic resistance and endurance training alters the way in which motor unit discharge rates are modulated across contraction intensities, suggesting alterations in net excitatory synaptic input - another fun collaboration with @JSkarabot and colleagues. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Another year, another Ni4M axe throwing champion - congrats, Nick!
Executive Director position for @csep_scpe , have look! csep.ca/2025/05/23/cse…
A highly productive and enjoyable visit with @JSkarabot in Loughborough. Thanks to the @LboroIAS for the fellowship to support the visit and hosting me for a lecture!
A nice little hike in the Peak District to start off the UK visit with @JSkarabot
Thanks for the shoutout, Kevin! It’s an honour to receive this award, and a testament to all the great mentors, trainees, and colleagues I’ve had the privilege of working with over the past few years 😊
Please join me in congratulating Dr. Greg Pearcey on winning the Early Career Investigator Award from the International Society of Motor Control! “What’s remarkable about Dr. Pearcey is that, [...] he has already established himself as a world-renowned scientist! Congrats!!!
Well-deserved!! Congrats, Evan!
EXTREMELY excited to share that Dr. Evan Lockyer was just awarded the Governor General’s Gold Medal in graduate studies!!! In other words, the top graduating PhD student from MUN this year! #Proud @MemorialU @MUNMed @gradstudies
