Tried to take advantage of April Fools' Day and draw more attention to my otherwise unspectacular poster. Not sure it worked. Some people genuinely congratulated me. And when I apologized for the joke, they laughed and congratulated me on a good joke. @ISMRM #Annapolis ☺️

Happy to have contributed to this multi-site MRS study led by @DrKatDyke! We found a minimal impact of the menstrual cycle on GABA and GSH measures. The menstrual cycle should not justify excluding women from MRS research. 👉 https://t.co/BK0ZAZc3go

Didn't know about this, not only intellectual but also genetic link between George Boole and Geoffrey E. Hinton. Simon Peyton Jones gave an amazing talk at #DarwinCollege. Great content, engaging delivery, and he spoke so fast I couldn’t zone out like I often do during talks🙂

Haha, the authors didn't even bother to delete that always-so-positive ChatGPT start of response: "Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic"! 🤣
