Roland (Roli) Wilhelm

Menaka Wilhelm (no relation) and I had a lovely conversation about SIP. Tune in if you can!

SIPs with Standards | Joint Genome Institute This episode, Rex Malmstrom (JGI), and Roli Wilhelm (Purdue University), share a few different ways they're working to make this technique, SIP, more standardized -- more reproducible, more reusable, ...

In this #GenomeInsider🎧: We delve into stable isotope probing, a powerful, complex process for studying microbial communities — and efforts by the JGI to make the technique more accessible, reproducible & insightful.

SILVAdb 138_2 is now my default. Here's the head-head-comparison of GreenGenes2 and Silva138 output

Greengenes2 taxonomy chloroplast Hi @wking, Thanks for the ping, regrettably not yet. It is very high on my list of items to address. Best, Daniel

PSA the @GreenGenes2 database still does not have Chloroplast or Mitochondrial taxonomic classifications entered. This may impact your analyses, especially with plant- or host-derived microbiome data.

The maintainers know (bit.ly/40mBuyN), but haven't updated as of 4:40 pm 27/10/2024

A.L.S. Stole His Voice. A.I. Retrieved It. In an experiment that surpassed expectations, implants in a patient’s brain were able to recognize words he tried to speak, and A.I. helped produce sounds that came close to matching his true voice.

My colleague Ben Mueller and I have new 🧪 stories out about the brain. Ben writes about an implant that allows someone with ALS to talk. I write about how a quarter of unresponsive people with brain injuries might actually capable of sustained cognition. Ben: nyti.ms/4cnatO5 Me: nyti.ms/4dntRfd

My first formal debate! My partner, Dr. Leo Green, and I gave the audience whiplash. What fun!

Leo convinced me of the role of professors in facilitating the AI-human interface.

But, I remain concerned that the disruptive potential of AI is not being taken seriously enough at universities.
