Situations and circumstances change, but principles never change. Principles can be used when feeling confused, overwhelmed or stuck. In Dr. Allison's TEDx talk, he discusses the principles which are universal core truths and how they are applied to the field of bio-mechanical engineering and reconstruction. Dr. Daniel C.
