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 🙏

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 🧪-friendly 🇨🇦. these facilities are well funded for the next 3 years.
🤔 Interested in examining brain structure and function in unparalleled resolution?
🧠 🔬 The Mesoscopic Integrated Neuroimaging Data (MIND) Platform is searching for a postdoc to assist in the initiative that combines 15.2T MRI and light sheet microscopy.
👇 See the attachment below for details.

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

Traditional Python notebooks are stored as JSON, not Python, causing a whole host of problems.

For one, ipynb files are hard to use with Git: few character changes can yield enormous git diffs.

marimo solves this and more by storing notebooks as pure Python files: www.youtube.com/watch?v=skuI...
