#introduction
Hello! I work on computer vision as it applies to medical imaging. I'm especially interested in neuro imaging.
I fill my free time with soccer and soccer data and I maintain a #python package, ScrapeFC, https://github.com/oseymour/ScraperFC.
I'm glad to be here and looking forward to meeting everybody!

Shamelessly hopping on the #introduction bandwagon: Hi, I'm Ian. I'm a science communicator and space writer working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California as a media relations specialist. Space robot PR, basically. In a past life, I was a solar physicist. I love science fiction in all its forms and have a passion for #astrophysics, #astronomy and all things #space. When not typing, you'll likely find me at the #gym, #running in the hills, or at the pub with a G&T.

For all the #MedMastodon folks over here, I vote for #MediFedi as a hashtag. We will be embracing those from every instance & the very spirit of this platform. Many of us are not on med-mastodon, but all of us are part of the fediverse! Really want to connect with all medics, Sports Medics, Nurses, ACPs, Pharmacists, Physios, & anyone interested in any medical field. I learned hugely from you over on the bird site! 🙌🏻

Academic #publishing would get so much better if #scientists saw #editors as someone to work with than someone to get past (of course, not all scientists do this). I understand why this happens, but it’s a real pity. As an editor, all I want is to work on papers! I love my job! It’s such a joy to get to work with researchers! And yes, sometimes I have to reject papers, for many reasons. It’s not fun; and I don’t enjoy it.

As it turns out, getting repeatedly infected with SARS-COV-2 is bad and you should prevent it https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-02051-3
After qualifying as a #radiographer I somehow ended up doing an MSc in #bioinformatics and a PhD looking at #microbial communities followed by a job as a bioinformatician in human #genetics. So, it's fair to say my radiography skills are... rusty! However, in Jan I will be moving to a new job focussing on #MedicalImaging research where I will be able to put my rusty radiography skills back into practice!
One of the things I now need to work on is regaining my HCPC registration as a radiographer, which obviously lapsed whilst I was off playing with microbes! To do this I need to complete a portfolio of a few hundred hours worth of study and practical experience. I'm lucky enough to have access to Exeter uni's library and their medical imaging course material but I am also going to be searching out lots of online resources which will hopefully help me refresh my memory of all things medical imaging! As I find them I will share useful resources on here and as I continue to connect with people who have similar interests I hope they might be useful for others too! 😃
To start with, radiopaedia, a great general radiology site with lots of articles and case studies: https://radiopaedia.org/

Someone in a meeting today said "one more thing" and I made a Columbo reference and probably only one other person understood what I meant and so now I am the older person in the work meeting making obscure comments. My moment has arrived.
