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...

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.

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?"

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! 😂😂😂
