Using AI and DNA Signals to Detect Living Microbes 🔬

#HelmholtzMunich & @helmholtzai.bsky.social show #AI can infer microbial viability from raw nanopore signals – distinguishing live vs. dead microbes for more precise genomic diagnostics in health & environmental monitoring.

Could we quickly determine if outbreak samples come from infectious sources, on-site using portable tech?

Here's a new method using AI to distinguish living and dead microbes using only Oxford Nanopore signal data.

Thx to all involved, esp. Harika Ürel & Lara Urban

Interesting quant. analysis of AI framing in French media 2012-22.
Agenda is dominated by government and big tech actors, but uniformity is cracking.
Growing politicisation of AI issues though newspaper left/right polarisation, and X/FB users increasingly criticising AI applications

Je suis heureux de partager mon article sur l'IA, issu des résultats de ma thèse, qui démontre la domination des récits industriels et gouvernementaux dans la presse et sur les RSN, et le renforcement des discours qui politisent le débat autour de l'IA

Amazing work from @sonifyed.bsky.social

Data-driven distortion of a Sigur Ros track to convey both the alarming rate of wildlife decline and its profound, heartbreaking, impact.

Elon Musk's Fellowship at the Royal Society is an embarrassment.

The video and the sonification are so strongly emotional. They show the feeling of losing something so really precious. Congratulations, @sonifyed.bsky.social, very nice work.
