A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

30% drop year over year!

Amid visa restrictions, international freshmen enrollment plummets at UW-Madison

This year’s number of international freshmen is the lowest recorded since at least 2015.

i love this idea so much but the code is breaking on me. i hope the developers can fix the Test=failing and deploy-docs=Failing on the repo

i can think of quite a few other tools that i wish would offer this to their users :-)

New preprint from stellar IRTG PhD student Amelie Rauland + team on white matter bundle reconstruction! Shows that WM bundles can be reliably extracted from simple 32-direction dMRI & features predict cognition - huge potential for legacy and clinical data. Thread 👇

When powering fMRI studies, sample size is king, but scan duration can also be a powerful tool, improving phenotypic prediction and cost-efficiency, a new analysis shows

Longer fMRI brain scans boost reliability—but only to a point

Around 30 minutes of imaging per person seems to be the “sweet spot” for linking functional connectivity differences to traits in an accurate and cost-effective way.

IMHO somewhere in a cheat sheet should be: (a) emphasis that the menu up top changes depending on whether the builder or coder windows are active (b) at least *mention* the "Code" module; an extremely powerful feature and would appeal to a more advanced audience. looking forward to the cheat sheet!

i'm collecting a super small FOV and want a lateralized fiducial marker that's not focal like a vitamin E capsule but rather like a "strip" so it'll be present despite where I place the acquisition window. ideas? dielectric pads are too thick and obviously i wouldn't want to place only 1
