Please repost. The Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping is looking for a Preclinical MRI physicist (9.4T and 15.2T Bruker Advance Neo). You will join a team of 14 dedicated staff in Canada's National Ultra-high field MRI platform who also operate 3T and 7T human scanners in the same facility.

So proud of @alaat.bsky.social for successfully defending his thesis. First PhD grad of the AIMS lab! 🎯

Incredibly fortunate to work with him & @neuroak.bsky.social on AFIDs project.

Thanks also to examiners DrEmmaDuerden DrSarahMattonen @angelarobertsphd.bsky.social @emiddlebrooksmd.bsky.social πŸ™

Researchers launch brain imaging platform with $2.9M boost from Brain Canada - Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry - Western University A new high-resolution imaging platform is revealing the brain in extraordinary detail – and sharing the data with scientists worldwide.

Great news just announced. @neuroak.bsky.social is leading a new funded @braincanada.bsky.social platform that promises to revolutionize the study of neurodegeneration by tackling Patho-connectomics Merging MRI and lightsheet analysis in new models of disease www.schulich.uwo.ca/about/news-e...

come and work with my colleague @neuroak.bsky.social This is a major collaborative initiative that combines our state of the art imaging facilities. Ideal for someone who just finished a PhD. In science πŸ§ͺ-friendly πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦. these facilities are well funded for the next 3 years.

If you care about computationally reproducible results but also like notebooks. You probably should ditch jupyter in favor of marimo.

Very cool! What kind of clearing and scope did you use? We have one in progress with smartbatch and miltenyi biotec Blaze
