In our
last edition of the MR Pulse, I described my goal this year of
enhancing our sense of “community” throughout the year,
including at times outside of the annual meeting. One needs to
look no further than our workshop program to identify a great
example of how we can enhance this sense of community in the
ISMRM. Our workshop program is thriving; the recent MR safety
workshop set record attendance of more than 225 members.
Congratulations to the organizers Titti Owman and Freddy
Stahlberg for conceiving of and leading a great program, and
many thanks to the speakers who contributed so much to the
workshop. During the safety workshop, we also rolled out our
first live twitter coverage of the event, thanks to Greg Brown
and his colleagues. Our annual meeting is a great event, but
sometimes the sheer size of the meeting, and the number of
parallel sessions, leave our members a bit frustrated, because
they were unable to attend all of the events or meet all of the
colleagues that they wished to see. The workshops provide an
outstanding opportunity for closer collaboration as well as
professional and social dialogue amongst colleagues that is so
important to moving our field forward. So please, take a few
moments to read this edition of the MR pulse to review the
upcoming workshops schedule, identify workshops that are of
interest to you, and register to participate in these
outstanding events. The workshop organizers and the ISMRM
central office work hard to make these workshops work for you,
so please take advantage of their effort by signing up today!
