Yet again, machine learning — even gussied up via the transformer architecture — encodes and reinforces societal biases.
This study reveals that LLM-based peer review relies heavily on author institution in its decisions.

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...
Fantastic industry panel on sustainability in MRI at #ismrm
A great place to hear about some of the latest ones (with short accessible summaries attached) is @prelights.bsky.social! 👀
We’re capturing high-resolution 3D images of their internal structures, fully non-invasively — using a scanner originally designed for imaging human 👫 and small animal 🐷🐭…
…and recently used on Egyptian mummies 👀!
📌 A promising step forward for plant studies using multi-energy imaging 🌱
Preparing a GenAI class for the medical students :)

The numbers are in. @bsky.app research sharing volumes vs X Formerly Twitter
In March 2024, on most days, Bluesky hosts more posts linked to research published in 2025 than X.
By quite a lot.

Sakana’s AI Scientist V2 generated a paper that passed peer review in an ICLR workshop. sakana.ai/ai-scientist...
This was done with ICLR workshop organizers’ blessing, and the paper was withdrawn after acceptance.

Great piece
Perspective from 17 years as a scholarly editor -
“…things will get worse before they get better — as evidenced by the recent resignation of an entire board ... We must be very careful, for we are losing something precious.”

"AI" creative writing looks passable to people who don't look at writing all day long. To editors, it pops out like a sore thumb. LLMs are glorified predictive text machines and they predict, well, predictably. PS: if you submit an "AI" story, the editor WILL remember you, and not in a good way.

New Year, new blogpost ...We haven't had enough of experts - and the civil service is one place we definitely need them occamstypewriter.org/athenedonald...
I do not want AI-generated media.
I want more human-created content.
I want to see and experience things that humans have created.

For Christmas I want a dragon.
Be realistic.
OK. I want my paper to be accepted without revisions.
What colour do you want your dragon.
Which one are you?
Among scientists are collectors, classifiers, and compulsive tidiers-up; many are detectives by temperament and many are explorers; some are artists and others artisans. There are poet-scientists and philosopher-scientists and even a few mystics.

Some papers are very difficult to read but that doesn’t necessarily mean they're deeper than other papers. Authors must work very hard to make their story easy to read and understand by others. Or as Stephen King says: "the shorter the book, the less bullshit".
It is a bit ambitious to try and sum up the magic of MRI physics in one post but here goes
