- I've been working on this then it hit me. Is this RhizoVision Tron? With open hardware and software, we can accelerate root, soil, and microbiome research. First, we have to solve the segmentation challenge of roots on soil so everyone can do it. www.rhizovision.com

- I upgraded to M365 Copilot which integrated some LLM with all my office apps. Kinda neat, has potential but needs work. On the other hand, when I right click words with red lines highlighting misspelling, there is no correction available! UI: Get the basics right first!
- Worth sharing. Pay attention and remember drowning can be calm and quiet, watch out for kids. You know when they're quiet there might be trouble!
- Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...
- At the IPG Root Biology Symposium at the University of Missouri. ChatGPT helped summarize the abstract book in graphical form. Great speakers and familiar faces of root biologists. Thanks to the organizers for inviting me and looking forward to telling you all more about RhizoVision Transformer.
- Who makes these UIs? I just want to copy and paste it.
- Expanded the vegetable garden again this year - on the right side there. We enjoy planting and harvests throughout the year. Tennessee has a great climate for gardens but the clay soil needs work. What about you? Anybody else garden?

- A boy and his drill press. Drilling is an essential part of biology.
- Robots.
- I'm still comprehending that our new 256 core, 1 TB RAM, 2x NVIDIA L40s analytics server is edge compute at a place like ORNL. AI-enabled image analysis is hungry. I'm fortunate to work with people who know what they are doing!
- What, isn't it kinda weird you can't delete your last prompt and model output from context when it's not going well in ChatGPT? That seems like an obvious need after using it a few times.
- What is publication post-super intelligent AI? Is writing the same background over and over that important when a chatbot can summarize your field in 3 seconds? It's more clear than ever that we are stewards of reliable experiments including data collection, analysis, and depositing.

- The snow lay as a cold blanket. Today in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA - a beautiful place to live and work. Looking north to my roots in Kentucky.
- Not long ago we dreamed up this fungal imaging experiment comparing two species growing on 3 levels of nitrogen in glucose minimal media. 5 reps. I did the best I could to get clear, daily images for 12 days. Big kudos to @lagergren.bsky.social and Anand for doing initial analysis in 1! day.

- Do you want to study roots? We released RhizoVision Explorer 3 years ago and now have 12,500+ downloads. RVE is free, open-source software for analyzing root images. The website covers common reproducible imaging approaches. Feel free to ask any questions! Version 2 coming! www.rhizovision.com
- I'm really into humanoid robots. You know, the ones that can walk on two legs, have arms, all that. In the past year there has been an explosion of these robots, at least 10 advanced varieties. For me, the possibilities are exciting. Check out my YouTube list and... youtube.com/playlist?lis...
