Outreach

MRM Highlights is the outreach publication of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. I contributed to it from 2015 to 2025 and was its lead editor from 2019, interviewing authors about their papers and editing those conversations into written articles, video Q&As and an annual magazine. From 2020 the papers were chosen by me for their reproducible research practices, and I wrote the Reproducible Research Insights piece that accompanied each one.
