#ohbm2023 — Public Fediverse posts

@stefanowitsch I noticed similar for #OHBM2023 (#fMRI): not a lot of discussion on here (though some!), but also not as much on twitter as past years. (I logged in to twitter for the first time this year just to check for conference info; the #OHBM organizers still posted there.)

A lot of science social media folks seems to be waiting, though I don't know for what.

I completed the #OHBM #OHBM2023 attendee survey this morning, and was disappointed (though not surprised) by the lack of post-conference #covid diagnosis questions. I have heard of cases anecdotally, but was hoping we'd get actual stats on how many folks caught covid during the conference. I fear it's a large proportion: the Montreal Convention Center ventilation was not great, no sign of filtration, and very few masks.

As a way to whittle down the absurd number of posters at this conference I decided to check out any poster where the presenter was still wearing a mask.

Depressingly that whittled it down to 6 posters but interestingly those 6 included 100% of the people I've seen use the conference hashtag on the fediverse.

I've been carrying my aranet monitor around #OHBM2023, and unpleasantly surprised by the readings - pretty consistently over 1000 CO2 in the sessions, even the poster hall and large keynote room. #OHBM #covidCO2

Achievement unlocked: #OHBM2023 poster hall located.

My poster is number 700 (up now), "Which acquisition? Choosing protocols for task fMRI studies". Stop by (or find me) to chat about testing acquisitions, QC, base R vs tidyverse, etc.

(And the poster hall? Same level as registration, down the hall on the left, keep on going. Restrooms are upstairs, so you may want to plan ahead. 😅) #OHBM

Quick note: we can use our own laptops to present at #OHBM2023; podium has an HDMI cable. If the room technician projects your slides, you won't be able to view them in front of you when speaking; they'll only be on the big screens. #OHBM

I looked around the #OHBM2023 convention center a bit this morning. #OHBM will be at the southwest end of the building, looking over Pl Jean-Paul-Riopelle. There are sets of escalators along the multicolored windows forming the end of the building; looks like registration will be one level up and the sessions up another. It'll likely be busy tomorrow morning, if everyone tries to pick up their badges (and upload slides?) before the 800 start of the courses.

I'm looking forward to participating in an #OHBM #OHBM2023 education session on "Making Quality Control Part of Your Analysis: Learning with the FMRI Open QC Project" The detailed schedule isn't in the official program, but you can find it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1scHKmypO38XYDqUPQoCMjYini1McKFJqIt5dZiTVkCk/edit?usp=sharing Thank you to @JosetAEtzel and @afni_pt for organizing and inviting me to present.

Heading to #OHBM #OHBM2023 soon. I compiled all multi-echo fMRI content at https://github.com/ME-ICA/ohbm-2023-multiecho If you use multi-echo fMRI on your poster/talk and want it added, let me know. @dowdlelt @tsalo @Nathan_Spreng @emdupre @laurenatlas @neuro_steel @esfinn @poldracklab

Goal (and necessity) for tomorrow: get ready for #OHBM2023!

Not many of us on mastodon, I think, and I'm definitely feeling out of the loop a bit. I'll look for the open science room mattermost; please share any other pointers. (I haven't logged in to twitter so far in 2023, but am wondering if I'll have to to get the #OHBM news and chatter.)

Going to OHBM and want to chat about #fMRI quality control, analysis, #rstats? Let me know! ☺️

I won't claim to not appreciate the extra time to prep my OHBM talk (though my poster is uploaded!), but am irritated by the changing deadlines ... at the moment https://event.fourwaves.com/ohbm2023/pages still states, "The deadline for all content uploads is: June 30, 2023 at 11:59pm EDT, USA. There will be no exceptions past this date."

Evidently OHBM is now one of those "assume there will be an extension" conferences. #OHBM #OHBM2023

#OHBM2023 bound! "Making Quality Control Part of Your Analysis: Learning with the #FMRI Open #QC Project" has been accepted as an #OHBM course.

I'm really looking forward to discussing QC with everyone, including fellow presenters Rasmus Birn, Xin Di (@dixy0), @DanHandwerker, Rebecca Lepping, Francesca Morfini, Celine Provins, Paul Taylor (@afni_pt), Brendan Williams, and Chao-Gan Yan. https://osf.io/qaesm
