Very opinionated MRI researcher. Opinions are mine, but probably should be yours too 🙂 Group leader of BAMM. (he/him) Mastοdοn: @mrifranz@mrtodon.net
- So happy that we are going to have registered reports as an abstract category for our late abstract call! It is a huge paradigm shift in our field! Let's make it a great success! Almost three more weeks for a great abstract!

- 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.

- 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?"

- 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...

- 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/EVqd6peat://did:plc:kk6ezaeyhzwv4dw6ewykkmy3/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lbcakrck4h2n
- 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/EVqd6peat://did:plc:kk6ezaeyhzwv4dw6ewykkmy3/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lbcakrck4h2n
- 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/EVqd6peat://did:plc:kk6ezaeyhzwv4dw6ewykkmy3/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lbcakrck4h2n
- 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

- 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
