In this bonus episode, we talk with Dr. Kerry Costello, 
Postdoctoral Fellow in the Movement & Applied Imaging Lab at Boston University. In addition to teaching us about her awesome work, Kerry shares her insights on what it's like to be a postdoctoral fellow and how international research helped shaped her career. She shares what she's learned from starting her podcast, Hey OA, which focused on osteoarthritis, and how all researchers can learn from it!

Bonus Episode: Post Docs, International Research, and Osteoarthritis | Kerry Costello

In this episode, we cover skin biomechanics! As our largest organ, the skin is an essential part of movement and a source of protection for our bodies. Learn about why studying skin biomechanics is so critical from Professors Manuel Rausch and Adrian Buganza Tepole, from UT Austin and Purdue University, respectively. They share how their expertise in modeling and experimental techniques support each other in understanding skin mechanics and applications to diseases and conditions affecting the skin, such as pressure ulcers. We also learn about what has made their cross-university collaboration (and friendship) so successful.
