What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution Close to two-thirds of the city’s residents commute by bike to school or work every day.

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.”

The anthropogenic glacier collapse currently underway in the Alps has resulted in the disappearance of >1000 small glaciers! 😱🔥

Following the release of Swiss glacier loss numbers today, let me introduce you the now extinct Vadret da Triazza (Eastern Switzerland) ✝️

Entshitification auf allen Ebenen im Internet :(
Konsequenz für mich ist auf jeden Fall diese Orte absolut zu meiden in Zukunft - hilft nur dann anderen leider nicht. Wäre aber durchaus eine mögliche Gegenmaßnahme von Google, bei jedem Ort die Anzahl an gelöschten Bewertungen anzeigen.

In letzter Zeit leider auch mehrfach gehabt. Da werden aber teils auch direkt Anwaltskanzleien von den Besitzern eingeschaltet - da löscht man dann halt lieber einfach und geht dem Stress aus dem Weg - egal ob es stimmt.

Ossoue Glacier from Col des Gentianes (Vignemale, Pyrénées)
2000 | 2015 | 2023

Only 23 years shown here... ⏳
Will be entirely gone in less than 9 years! 🔥

- Mean glacier thickness: 15.1 m
- Mean thickness loss/yr: 2 m (2002-2024) but 4.5 m in 2022 and 2023! 😱

The #Glacier Loss Day is reached in Switzerland!
From now on all melt that occurs on glaciers until October is unsustainable. This tipping point has only been reached so early in the record-shattering year 2022.
Expect big ice loss due to the prolonged melt season and feedback effects

Bossons Glacier
2022 | 2025

No comment needed... 😭

There is the list of accepted abstracts that also lists the institution: www.ismrm.org/25/accepted_...
It's not the list of participants, but one might assume that people coming without abstracts balance those that that didn't come even though they had an abstract (or one author presenting multiple)

In about 4 days from now, we are going to hit the #Glacier Loss Day in Switzerland! All melting from this point onwards till next winter is unsustainable, i.e. is long-term mass loss.
This is extremely early in the season! And just a bit behind the record-shattering year 2022...

Magnitude of current heatwave is incredible!

The forecast for tuesday shows an unprecedented area with temp. > 40°C 😱

Never before has it been so hot over such a large area (and so early!) 🔥

The vertigo of having to live like this for the rest of your life...

Aloha from Mt. Olympus @ismrm.bsky.social 🥾⛰️. There should be a special badge flag thingy for everyone who conquers this beast 😁

Water and ions binding to extracellular matrix drives stress relaxation, aiding MRI detection of swelling-associated pathology - Nature Biomedical Engineering Magnetic resonance imaging of swollen tendons suggests that the elasticity and stress relaxation of extracellular matrix depend on electrostatic repulsions between proteoglycans rather than on hydrati...

After nearly 6 years of work and countless experiments performed our paper in Nature for Biomedical Engineering has finally been published 😀

Winter fun up in the north ❄️

On the plus side, outside of the city in spring or summer, e-bike usage is insane as recreation, especially among the elderly. There is easily 50% e-bike usage on the car-free recreational regional bike paths. So there is a lot of potential if there would be just more infrastructure :(

Higher e-bike speeds only work if there is dedicated bike infrastructure. In 2024 Jena/Germany bikes are still just forced together with pedestrians on the same unmarked sidewalks, mandating that you drive "walking speed". And driving on the streets means to be stuck in traffic or going suicide mode

Hi -- I have a postdoc position open in Computational MRI -- looking for experience and interest in MRI acquisition (in addition to reconstruction). Offer competitive pay. Opportunity to collaborate with Center for GenAI and Dell Med School. Bonus if you get your app in before Dec 1!

Prime use case for LLMs, 90% of these documents are generic blah blah. Upload the research proposal PDF as input and ask your LLM of choice for descriptions of the required sub sections of the ethics proposal. Don't ask it to do everything at once, but let it generate the generic parts step by step.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.
