Running for Science: Science for Running – Episode 2, From Our Feet Up (Cody Prang)

Episode 2 of “Running for Science:Science for Running” is live! This episode, “From Our Feet Up,” features Cody Prang, a doctoral student at NYU. Cody’s doctoral research focuses on the evolution of the human foot, lower limb, and biomechanics of hominin locomotion.

For a little additional reference on the foot, here is an anatomical rendering of the bones of the foot and some of their key features (source: Gray’s Anatomy – Wikipedia Commons).
