Behold, Shrödinger’s suit.
This ended up raising $5,000 for @feederofcats, so here's a thread on whether President Zelenskyy wore a suit. 🧵

Hi @karolineleavitt Patrick here, from Quebec. 👋 1- It’s $254,000 (Canadian, but still) 2- 53% is the marginal tax rate. The actual rate is 39%. 3- We have subsidized health care, day care and tuition fees. 4- We live three years longer than Americans, on average. Cheers!

BillionDollarGovernmentContract says what?
The excess government spending is what causes inflation! ALL government spending is taxation. This is a very important concept to appreciate. It is either direct taxation, like income tax, or indirect via inflation due to increasing the money supply.

I am skipping out on the 2024 Annual Meeting of the ISMRM (unfortunately!). If you are attending in Singapore, be sure to say hello to students Jorge Campos Pazmiño and Renée-Claude Bider, members of the MR Methods Research Group of the @McGillMedPhys Unit.

#4431 (Thursday 9:15, Acquisition strategies I): “Modeling fat-water relaxation in Fat DESPOT from complex signal”, Renée-Claude Bider et al.

and in this work, Renée continues the work of Cristian Ciobanu to use a complex signal model in fitting multi-echo VFA for joint fat-water separated R1 mapping.

Our group has 3 posters at the meeting: #4884 (Monday 17:00, Physics and Engineering Jambalaya): "The hierarchy of hazard controls in MR safety practice" (students Jorge Campos and Renée-Claude Bider will be presenting)

in this work, we studied clinical MR safety measures from the perspective of the Hierarchy of Hazard Controls (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierar…)

and, finally: #4557 (Thursday 13:45, Quantitative Cardiac, Body, and MSK): ”Mapping fat-water separated R1, R2*, and fat fraction with bipolar multi-echo MP2RAGE”, Jorge Campos Pazmiño et al.

in this work, Jorge shows that fat-water separation applied to each multi-echo RAGE train can be followed by R1 mapping using the MP2RAGE formalism.
