You heard the man, America. #Trump #Tariffs #Canada #cdnpoli #FAFO

Now if only there were a way to actually get this through the skulls of those who voted in favor of this administration...

Layoffs and budget cuts are still dominating the news for the HHS, and rightfully so as they're a threat to public health. What's also been frustrating is the communication freeze that's still in effect - we can't submit abstracts or submit manuscripts for review.

What I probably look like trying to read these model training scripts I last used 6 months ago

Well, it looks like Bluesky has been getting busier! Maybe it's time to dip my toes in again. Medical Physics / medical imaging researchers, hello! 👋

Been uncharacteristically quiet on social media lately - lots going on! Dissertation writing, job hunting, apartment hunting, trying to wrap up 3 manuscripts... 😭 how do y'all do it and post at the same time!?

Every time I go to an auto mechanic I conclude (yet again) that life is currently too expensive to be a grad student

My reaction to reading my own writing is either: "I can't believe I wrote this!" (laudatory) or "I can't believe I wrote this." (derogatory)

How in the hell did I write up my senior year research project without a citation manager? I'm currently drafting my third paper as a graduate student and I can't imagine life without it 😂

Making figures in R and Python: hours of sweating and swearing with 35 browser tabs open Making figures in PowerPoint: fun, relaxing, feels like arts and crafts

Starting to insert citations into the new manuscript which means it's FINALLY time to leave the burning dumpster that is Mendeley and embrace Zotero

I would like to mentally and physically inhabit this photo

Gonna warn all incoming graduate students that the University Ave Chipotle is awful

The introduction to The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging is still among my favorites.

This morning's scare: thought I almost hit the ol' "rm -rf *" on the data for my third dissertation chapter 👍

Just sent my wife a connection request on LinkedIn - hope she accepts! 🤞

Deleted all of my Twitter accounts but still under-utilizing Bluesky. So... how's it going? Just sent a rough draft of my 2nd manuscript to my advisor; full steam ahead shooting for a summer dissertation defense.

Final official version is out! So cool to see it formatted, it finally feels real :) direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

Lots of interesting analysis in this paper, but the complete lack of K99s awarded to those at HBCUs is shocking.

Sent the proofs for my first paper back to the journal - is it weird that what I'm most excited about is seeing my own work on PubMed?

Ended up posting a little bit about this book: www.linkedin.com/posts/jayse-...

My first first-author publication is now available as an advance online publication in Imaging Neuroscience! doi.org/10.1162/imag... Key Points - Motion confounds measures derived w/ diffusion MRI - Removal of motion-corrupted data useful when correction fails - CNN is comparable to human observer

My neuroanatomy walk of shame: constantly getting the caudate and putamen mixed up and needing a visual reminder

Our dishwasher desperately needs to be cleaned. Perhaps my least favorite of all household chores. Keep me in your thoughts

Currently wrapping up this exceptional book. Thinking about posting some thoughts on it on LinkedIn and recommending our faculty read it (or at least a key chapter or two). Really great stuff.

Learned a valuable lesson today. Thought I could give a few undergrads a crash course on MRI with minimal preparation. I was horribly mistaken.

MARRIAGE

Getting married tomorrow!

accidentally knocked my portafilter full of coffee onto the floor so that's how I know I'm awake too early

Week ruined by RuntimeError: CUDA error: unspecified launch failure

Been in Research Hell this week and I am NOT happy about it! Can this project catch a break? :(

Special delivery! Our MR scanner is being upgraded with the GE MAGNUS gradient.

Labor Day Checklist ✅ Sleep in 🟩 Try to not work The grad student dilemma

Knowing that there's a window covered up by our shower wall makes me so upset. The perfect bathroom ventilation, eliminated by a single renovation 😔

Having a wedding registry made up of stores we never shop at has completely ruined our targeted ads with things we could never afford to buy for ourselves 🤣

It's so disappointing and frustrating to see mask and hand sanitizer stations disappearing from healthcare settings, of all places.

We got a couple wedding registry gifts with absolutely no info from the sender 😭 how are we supposed to send thank yous

Friendship ended with Mendeley, Zotero is my new best friend (it was almost EndNote but I am having registration problems)
