With EDS I need somewhere to rest, raise my legs and stretch during the conference. The resonarium was fantastic with yoga balls, rugs but the balls hadn’t been pumped enough to allow for good stretching - though were fun for bouncing. Also it was too noisy and bright to really rest up and recharge. Felt very self conscious lying down to rest my legs up if there were others around.]]> 2022-05-14 11:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dwcarmichael1/euglimndbsj10t31/wish/2183782611 EDI Champion Award https://padlet.com/dwcarmichael1/euglimndbsj10t31/wish/2183784462 Would it be possible to add another prize for the person who has worked toward the amazing EDI initiatives for the year. ISMRT/ISMRM is all about the science but we also need EDI to ensure we can retain those wonderful scientists, technologists, radiographers and clinicians in a supportive uplifting environment. That was we do the best science.

Why not try a buddy system with people who have been to ISMRM ISMRT before to meet and learn from those more experienced people in their areas of research. Your buddy could then introduced the junior member to influential people in the field which makes networking much easier for those junior members. ]]> 2022-05-14 11:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dwcarmichael1/euglimndbsj10t31/wish/2183786025 Travel award for researchers from low/middle income countries to visit a high income country site for a period of time to learn/share with researchers in their field https://padlet.com/dwcarmichael1/euglimndbsj10t31/wish/2183790623 Would it be possible to offer a travel award to cover the costs of travel, accommodation and food for a researcher from low/middle income country to visit for a short period a center of excellence in a high income country? The researchers could then learn and share experiences which could improve practice in both countries. This would lead to amazing collaborative groups, new expertise sharing plus help with the access barriers that people from low/middle income country have. ]]> 2022-05-14 11:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dwcarmichael1/euglimndbsj10t31/wish/2183790623
