Radiopaedia.org is a free online radiology resource built and maintained by it’s users. Section editors , as well as being regular users are responsible for overseeing part of the site, e.g. Gastrointestinal section. More information is available here. It is a great way to contribute to the site and radiology community in general, and you can also have something unique on your CV. Previous editors are of course remembered in the editor hall of fame.

This is a system Wikipedia should use as I’ve been saying for years.

They still have a few vacancies, and are therefore still accepting applications for the following positions.

  • gastrointestinal (GIT)
  • nuclear medicine (NM)
  • radiology physics
  • breast imaging
  • juniour trainee

Simply write to editors at radiopaedia.org with your CV and the section you are most interested in.

      This Is How We Dream: Videos May 9, 2009

      The latest effort by the New Humanities Collaborative to tell the story of how reading and writing have been transformed by the web. What does it mean to write? to read? to publish? The answers to these questions, once obvious, must now be reimagined. Can the educational system rise to the challenge of preparing students to live, work, think, and thrive in an environment of ceaseless change?

      Instead of competing with my competitors, I invited them to contribute data to my paper so that no one got scooped. I figured out who might have data relating to my work (and who could get scooped) using public resources and then sent them an email. Now that I have done this, I am thinking: Why the hell isn’t everyone doing this? Why do we waste taxpayer money on ego battles between rival scientists?

      A short post about how to organize an online meeting for your international collaborators in just seconds. Here is TinyChat where you can launch an online meeting room easily.

      I thought I should give it a try so I created a chat room in 2 clicks, posted the link in my Twitter community and people started to join. That’s how it works.
