@DhunKV_24 @ScottAyton @_BrightFocus Sorry, that position is already filled

@weerdl @ScottAyton @_BrightFocus I am interested.

Fully funded 4-year #PhD position available in my lab! Together with @ScottAyton and Julie Schneider, we have a new project on #brain_iron spreading patterns in #alzheimersdisease, funded by @_BrightFocus. Are you interested in AD, histology, large cohorts, #AI and #MRI, dm me!

Wrong Scott Ayton!, sorry @ayton_scott

Elsevier is losing editors

@ImagingNeurosci Bold move! Full support here, let's make this work! I hope the entire community rallies by sending papers and reviewing quickly for @ImagingNeurosci and refusing to do so for those who shall not be named.

All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal imaging-neuroscience.org This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.

Can anyone identify the pink flowers in the top half of this photo? Their leaves look like parsley.

@ShcChy @firefoxx66 And claim your ORCID orcid.org and use it with every publication. It sorts out the name confusion, even after name changes.

@firefoxx66 Google Scholar is a great resource except for one issue - it has a deadnaming problem, as it is ridiculously rigid and won't let you change names. Other 'research homepages' will. Trans researchers with prior publications under a different name might want to keep that in mind!

If you're an early career researcher (yes even 'just' a PhD student!) 1 of my biggest pieces of advice would be: Go claim/create your Google Scholar page!! 👈🏻✍️🏻 I put this off bc I thought I 'didn't have enough on it'. I also generally thought "nobody is looking for me". 1/4

Freshly out of the embargo < 10 min ago. 🍾 A big thank you to everyone who contributed!!! Together you make such a nice community, I feel proud to have my name listed along with yours 😊 nature.com/articles/s4159…

#AMICE_NL has taken off! Let's see how far this rocket will fly! @ESMI_society linkedin.com/posts/lvanderw…

The position is closing this week, so get your application in! If you're attending #emim2023 @ESMI_society , contact me if you want to chat informally!

Just arrived by #sleepertrain #nightjet in beautiful Salzburg for #emim2023. The program looks great, really looking forward to it. And for Dutch attendees and friends, don't forget: Thursday we're presenting the #AMICE_NL national platform!

@Katlab_UCL You probably had a more extensive talk about this, but I could imagine that they are confusing the title Dr. with the Dutch equivalent for Mr, which is Dhr? We never use our academic title outside of work. Just me hoping for an innocent explanation ;)

And so, this happened. I arrive at my gate, Amsterdam airport. The staff ask me if I got my flight wrong. They are only expecting two men, they say. I present my passport. But why does the system say you are a Dr, she asks? Shocked, I manage to utter that I am a woman and a Dr.

Today is International Women's Day and we celebrate the achievements of women world-wide. At the Gorter Center we're a diverse mixed bunch of people, that we really see as one of our strengths. #LUMCWomen #InternationalWomensDay @LUMC_Leiden #internationalevrouwendag

We are hiring! Looking for a PhD student to work on the role of the vasculature in dementia. Apart from working in a great team, Leiden is a really nice place to live, and Dutch PhD student actually get very good benefits. linkedin.com/jobs/view/3481…

Voor de ochtendmensen onder ons... Morgen ben ik van 5 tot 6 uur (ja, s morgens!) bij het NPO1 Radio programma Vroeg! om te praten over vrouwen in de wetenschap @LNVH_NL (Ja, het is ook terug te luisteren;-)) Hopelijk ben ik wakker genoeg voor een coherent verhaal;-)

Open #postdoc position on Advanced #MRI Acquisition Methods at Dept Neurophysics, MPI-CBS, Leipzig. Interested in #qMRI, #hMRI on cutting-edge facilities? More info here: @NikWeiskopf/109780072268338252" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">social.mpdl.mpg.de/@NikWeiskopf/1…

The paper is out! An analysis of imaging data showed that cerebral perfusion seemed to precede #Tau deposition in certain parts of the brain. There is so much more we have yet to understand about the origins of various neurodegenerative diseases... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36647226/
