Yesterday was a happy and sad day in the Human Locomotion Research Lab. It was our long-time colleague Mustafa’s last day with the lab as he has left to take a full-time position with ISSofBC. Mustafa first started as a research participant 6 years ago. After a year, he became a volunteer, and two years ago he took on a part-time position as a reserach assistant under Dr. Tania Lam. We are very happy for him to have this new opportunity but we hope he will still come visit us!
Congratulations Mustafa – we will miss you!
