"From Motion to Meaning: Empowering Neurorehabilitation Across the Lifespan via Wearable Sensing." Researchers have spent decades studying rehabilitation interventions for improving function in people with stroke and other neurological disorders. Trial outcomes are often measured at the activity capacity level, defined as what a person is capable of doing in the structured environment of the clinic or laboratory.  It has long been assumed that improvements in activity capacity result in improvements in real-world activity performance, where activity performance is defined as what a person actually does in daily life, outside of the clinic or laboratory.  We will discuss some of the surprising findings arising from measuring movement in daily life via wearable sensors in persons with stroke and Parkinson disease, beginning inquiries into pediatric motor behavior, and current efforts to move this tool from the research realm into the clinical realm.  Host Young- Hui Chang

The ExplOrigins early career group invites you to join the 2026 Exploration and Origins Colloquium! This colloquium will have events on two days: a poster session and social event on February 26th (4:30-8pm) and talks on February 27th (8:30am-3:15pm). We are thrilled to feature plenary talks by Dr. Danna Qasim from the Southwest Research Institute and Dr. Denis Bodewits from Auburn University, Alabama.

Talks and the poster session will be held in person at Georgia Tech, with a virtual viewing/presenting option for talks. Our aim is to highlight early career projects that explore, conceptualize, celebrate, and discover pieces of space, life’s origins, and astrobiology from any field in the Atlanta area. Through this colloquium, we hope to:

• forge relationships between diverse individuals of various fields, experience
  levels and backgrounds
• expand our internal awareness of local work and innovations
• encourage collaboration and interdisciplinary understanding
• provide a professional growth opportunity for early career individuals including undergraduates, graduates, and post-docs

This year’s theme is “Life on Ice: How Ices Shape Planets, Comets, and Origins.”
