Q: Why is this project important for you to pursue, and why hasn't it been solved before now?
The project sits at the intersection of biomedical interests and engineering, directly benefiting pilots by reducing neck pain and enabling longer, safer service. Many engineers have avoided the issue due to the difficulty of defining muscle responses and the complexity of the human body, but this work aims to pinpoint how to place weights for optimal support and to build a proposal that can be evaluated for practical implementation.
S14:E21 | Drew Hensley: Finding Hope in Invisible Grief
Q: What's next for you professionally?
Drew describes a new book project about healthy seeking of approval and a podcast venture Still Becoming, continuing to explore faith in real life.
