Can statistics be fun? You might find it hard to believe, but I had a blast giving this talk on #statistics of quantitative MR methods at the latest @ismrm.bsky.social conference. And judging from the reactions, people had fun too. Have a look: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZTT...

Today, my dear friend and colleague Jessie made me the most thoughtful present for my birthday: a handmade cross-stitch of the #dafne logo. It was really something special! I feel so lucky, to have such a wonderful group. dafne.network

Nowadays, #AI can solve virtually any problem in ways that are elegant, effective, and wrong.

What many don't understand is that #DEI *is* meritocracy. The next Einstein could be white, black, woman, poor, rich, or trans, and we don't want to pass on them just be caused those who rise to the top are 80% white dudes.

I really like this article about #AI for #MRI acceleration. There is a dramatic lack of evidence that AI products actually help in the clinical practice. It's easy to make pretty images, but are they useful at all? link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Really happy that David Karlin will present at @esmrmb.bsky.social #ESMRMB2025 this year! He is a professional coach and he can give the right boost to our grant applications!

Academia is hard for everyone. But for many, for instance women, it is unnecessarily harder.

Saying goodbye to the @myESR.bsky.social #ECR2025! It was great to see all the colleagues from our various #radiology professions! See you again soon!

After crying "AGI!" for years, #OpenAI's next model is yet again just an incremental improvement, at the cost of ridiculous computational power. This is not the way, and all the announcements are just hype to inflate the bubble.

Hands-on #statistics workshop at @myESR #ECR2025. Again a full room! There is definitely a lot of interest in doing rigorous research! @tugbaakinci.bsky.social @pintodrad.bsky.social

Full room at the #MRSafety session at @myESR #ECR2025 organised by the MR Safety and Quality subcommittee. Happy to see so much interest in the topic!

Too many papers are written on AI tools for medical imaging from a computer science perspective and without the clinical application in mind.

This is an important rule when discussing with someone. Always ask "what would it take for you to change your opinion?"

Hi BlueSky! This is the official page for the MYO-MRI+ conference on imaging in neuromuscular disease. It will take place from 9th-11th November 2025 in Berlin and will be hosted by the World Muscle Society. Follow along for updates.

I just found this extension that allows cross-posting between Twitter, Mastodon, and Bluesky. If you are seeing this, it means it works :) https://github.com/59de44955ebd/twitter-to-bsky

Join us this in ReproducibiliTea Unibasel this Thursday 12.12 at 16.30 CET, in the last seminar of this year with Dr Fiona Ramage to talk about "Meta-research: a valuable tool to increase reproducibility in preclinical and other research". Register here: www.eventbrite.ch/e/meta-resea...

Hey friends! Do you have an idea for a session for next year's #ESMRMB conference in Marseille? You can propose a session on our wiki conference lab! Organizers AND speakers will get admittance to the networking dinner for free! 👉 wiki.esmrmb.org/index.php/Co... #MRI #ESMRMB2025

Sometimes statistics requires some hard mental gymnastics. Confidence intervals don't actually give you confidence that you know what you think you know.

Surprised, delighted, and flattered that my head is used as an unmovable rock in the #MRITogether Racing Track in the gather.town space. I can't shake off the feeling that it must be a metaphor for something, and I'm not sure I want to know for what! 😂😂😂

#MRITogether is starting in a few hours. Can't wait for this year's program on #MRI and #Reproducibility! If you are interested, join me. It's free, and even if you keep it in the background while you work, it's still worth it! mritogether.esmrmb.org.

It was an honor to give my inaugural lecture at the beautiful Natural History Museum of Basel! A talk about #reproducibilty and #MRI, for a new vision of research! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtJs...

Equality and diversity are central to my work at the European Society of #Radiology, particularly in radiological research. Whatever your gender identity, radiology researchers please participate in this survey so that your voice is heard. Deadline 9 December 👇 👇 👇 👇 www.surveymonkey.com/r/L9QNW2X

Such an honor and a pleasure to once again be invited to the #ESR leadership meeting in Rome. Beautiful place, I wonderful organization, and incredible professionalism.

Early days, but it looks like our authors don't think we need an impact factor either! Submissions are strong in numbers and high quality since the Clarivate/WoS announcement. We should not let a multibillion dollar company dictate how science is evaluated!

77 people in the starter pack! What a network! And #protip: if you add #MRI or #MRS to your post, they will automatically show up in the MRISky feed, which is also included in the pack! go.bsky.app/EVqd6pe

Thanks to a nice crowd effort, the starter pack is now much larger! So great to see a fantastic network of #MRI researchers! Share and suggest people to add here below! go.bsky.app/EVqd6pe

Let's create an #MRI researcher starter pack! There are a couple that are neuroimaging-based, but not really the method development community. I started putting together a few profiles, but please spread the word and tell me who else to add. If there is already one, let me know! go.bsky.app/EVqd6pe

Hey! Maybe it's time to come back to #bluesky? How's the #MRI community here now?

We've all laughed at the recent #GenerativeAI fails in #Academia. But this is a symptom that the publishing system is creaking and might break soon. I've written about this in a recent commentary for European Radiology. Would be happy if you checked it out! Read it here: rdcu.be/dA816

😍 Excited about the #LoveData24 Week?! 🥰 Join us on February 14, 2024 ConstantinSluka will talk about Open Data and Data Management in Clinical Research. ❤️ Registration: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/open-data-... And check out zhbluzern.ch/love-data-week for more events

As fish in the water: why method-development research has a huge publication bias problem, but nobody sees it. An #openscience thread.

The global #openscience meeting for #MRI research is coming soon! Join #MRITogether in December, many excellent speakers, talking about Open, reproducible, and inclusive science. It's all free and everybody is welcome! mritogether.esmrmb.org

📢This Thursday 9th of November at 16:30 Zurich Time don't miss another exciting ReproducibiliTea UniBasel with Kaitlyn Hair discussing about Preclinical Research and Open Science. Link to register: www.eventbrite.com/e/preclinica...

New research finds the COVID vaccines saved 2.4 million lives

Interested in #Diffusion #MRI ? Look no further! A #free talk, this Friday 10:00 UK time, on exactly that! Looking forward to hearing about how to validate diffusion biomarkers! Talk provided by BIC #ISMRM If you need a link, let me know.

📣 Would you like to do a postdoc on #MRI in an open and friendly environment? 📣 Would you like to do science that is rigorous and impactful? 📣 Would you like to have a great work/life balance in beautiful Switzerland? Apply now!

Tonight I will be joining a Panel Discussion on #openaccess. Is OA promoting equality, giving everybody access to information, or hindering it, by only allowing rich countries to publish? Is OA good for science, or just a desperate attempt to milk the scientific publishing cow?

Still not much #MRI content in bluesky! Let's bring more people in!
