To pay or not to pay? 🤔 After @NeuroLibre Day, I got inspired and made a video about the big debate: Should peer reviewers get $$$ or keep doing it free-labor?

@fachevigny @PolyBioTech The hype is real!!!!

[TheLaughstract @TheLaughstract]

@alex_or_sashka made a 3-minute video about a complicated paper on the "organ-on-a-chip" trend, but so clear and fun. Check it out!

[TheLaughstract @TheLaughstract]

Not only organs, but also tumors could be put on-a-chip. Check out @biotechbymaude presentation about this 🧠👨‍💻

@ThomasDagonneau made a great presentation, simple, straightforward, funny, interesting about printing brain cells 🧠🖨️ Congrats!

[TheLaughstract @TheLaughstract]

Well, I'm happy I was not the only one to picture this! 😂Btw, check @VeroniqueStArno presentation about organ-on-a-chip, interesting stuff!

[TheLaughstract @TheLaughstract]

I'm too hungry for my stupid brain not to imagine this every time hear I "organ-on-a-chip"

Cannes Festival winner, Director Joseph Steenhouwer @JoSteenhouwer brings a "Bioink Novel".

Laughs, fun, learning, and a touch of real stuff that feels like sci-fi: https://t.co/tAOMVQjyaH

Since I started a "science" account here, I'm getting random "hiring PhD/Masters in [not my field] lab at [not my city]" tweet notifications. Is this a legit thing or an engagement trap honey pot? Anyone got success/horror stories?

[TheLaughstract @TheLaughstract]

@REMgrandmtl @stm_Bleue Also, did you know each metro line in Montreal has its own X acocunt? 😂

[TheLaughstract @TheLaughstract]

Used the @REMgrandmtl for the first time this weekend, and now my regular @stm_Bleue rides feel like a bad breakup. Sorry, blue line, it's not me, it's you.

@SandBedard Made a flawless presentation on MRI correction of B1+ that is an A+ in detail and comprehension! Check it out 👇

[Sandrine Bédard @SandBedard]

This week in @PolyBioTech class, following @Stikov's lecture about MRI, I presented a paper by @rowleycd & @tardiftweets on correcting B1+ inhomogeneity in MTsat maps with a model-based framework 🚀

@JeanineLooman @Stikov @PolyBioTech Shout-out to @vitruvianbot for the fun idea💡, it was definitely a golden-button 🌟

[TheLaughstract @TheLaughstract]

Today, I learned two things at @PolyBioTech: 1) MRI is hard 🧠 and 2) Macedonians chocolate is amazing 🍫🇲🇰

[TheLaughstract @TheLaughstract]

@vitruvianbot @PolyBioTech And I’m excited to see who’s going to drop the 'Nature is toxic' exposé first 🫣

For those who might have missed the reference, the Eisner Awards are the "Oscars" of comics🤓

[TheLaughstract @TheLaughstract]

Like Spider-Man, Watchmen, or Saga? Not all Eisners go to capes and spandex! 🧠 @ThomasDagonneau just dropped a comic about science and data sharing with @NeuroLibre! Who said science couldn't be heroic?

Newsflash! MRI results are getting a makeover! Addressing irreproducibility, @alex_or_sashka dives into a preprint that’s shaking things up over at @NeuroLibre. Finally, some scans we can all agree on! 🧠✨

Wait, databases can have mistakes? 😱 Controversies aside, @adelaide48293 dives into the UK Biobank's bias problem. A must-read for data nerds!
