This weekend is Voicelab retreat, then my grandfather’s birthday, and then Passover (which I’m spending with family in New York). I expect it will be hectic.

I was accepted this week to present a poster at the Ultrasonics Industry Association conference. It’s in April, before ISMRM, so it will actually be my first poster at a real scientific conference. Maybe. It seems to be very much … Continue reading →
