Francesca Saraceni, co-fondatrice e CEO di Intellico, è l'ospite di questa settimana di #RadioNext, a margine del Net Zero Milan Expo Summit 2025.Il confronto parte da un principio: ogni progetto di intelligenza artificiale deve dimostrare di compensare il costo energetico e infrastrutturale che comporta. Saraceni parla di “visione duale” – beneficio di business e sostenibilità – e invita le imprese a chiedersi prima di tutto se l'AI serva davvero o se un approccio statistico tradizionale basti. Quale bilancio energetico giustifica l'adozione di un modello AI in produzione? Nei processi deterministici (controllo qualità, taglio assi), modelli leggeri in locale sono spesso più che sufficienti, mentre in contesti a elevata variabilità – come il reattore che trasforma scarti industriali in materiali da costruzione – reti neurali e digital twin diventano indispensabili per ridurre scarti, consumo di ciclo produttivo e CO2. Sul fronte della generative AI, la CEO di Intellico suggerisce di ridurre il footprint computazionale con motori meno “energivori” affiancati da sistemi RAG che filtrano il contesto informativo. Qui emerge il tema della protezione del dato: ambienti dedicati o architetture multitenant, clausole di proprietà e tutela dell'apprendimento derivato fanno parte del pacchetto tecnologico-contrattuale richiesto dai clienti industriali. L'Unione Europea? Le norme sull'AI Act sono viste come un freno gestibile: limitano le applicazioni ad alto rischio, ma lasciano spazio a ricerca e sperimentazione. La sfida maggiore resta la competenza interna: molte aziende oscillano tra prudenza e aspettative irrealistiche. Come capire se il proprio livello di maturità digitale è sufficiente per passare dal “proof of concept” alla produzione scalabile?

Welcome to episode #993 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Angela Chee is a keynote speaker, media and communication coach, and author of The Power Of the Only – Own Your Voice, Thrive in Any Environment, a book that challenges us to rethink the spaces we occupy and the voices we often silence… especially our own. In this conversation, Angela explores what it means to truly “own your voice” in an era defined by visibility and vulnerability, noise and nuance. Angela speaks candidly about how being the “only” in the room (whether because of race, gender, background, or perspective) is not a disadvantage but a profound source of power and insight. We discuss the emotional tension of the spotlight effect, where the desire to be seen and the fear of judgment collide, and how discernment (not just visibility) becomes the essential skill for modern communication. Angela opens up about the importance of balancing authenticity with intention, and why the journey of discovering your voice is never really over. It's a practice, a reclaiming and a reshaping of self in response to a constantly shifting cultural landscape. We touch on the rise of AI, the tension of audience capture, the commodification of personality, and the difference between performance and presence. Angela's perspective is grounded in clarity and connection, and she brings both wisdom and structure to the chaos of today's media environment. Her Five Principles of The Power of the Only are not just a framework for communication, they're a roadmap for identity and leadership in uncertain times. This conversation is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the demand to “show up” in public, who wonders if they're saying too much or not enough, or who is searching for the courage to take up space without apology. If you've ever felt like an outsider at work, in life, or even in your own skin, this episode reminds us that our difference isn't something to overcome. It's the very thing that makes us whole.

Show notes: [00:02:18] Ken starts off the episode with a listener question about whether Dawn and Ken read print books or digital, the reason being that a listener recently came across an article that claimed digital screens are rewiring our brains. [00:05:32] A listener asks about a paper titled “Grip Strength An Indispensable Biomarker for Older Adults” which claims that the ability to hang from a bar for 60 seconds for men, and 30 seconds for women, indicates that a person is likely to live longer. The paper claims that a decline in grip strength is associated with adverse health consequences, and the listener asks Ken what advice he has for developing and maintaining grip strength. [00:10:20] A listener asks a question inspired by our recent interview with Dr. Frank Butler. The listener asks if Ken has heard about the FDA approved depression therapy, esketamine, which is a derivative of ketamine and is a long-standing therapy for depression. [00:12:37] A listener asks Ken about a 2023 paper in the journal Age and Aging titled “Higher Dietary Protein Intake is Associated with Sarcopenia in Older British Twins” [00:16:13] A listener asks Ken about “Whisper,” which is a transcription product from OpenAI. The listener explains that OpenAI disclaims that Whisper should not be used in high-risk domains. However, according to a story by the Associated Press titled “Researchers Say an AI Powered Transcription Tool Used in Hospitals Invents Things No One Ever Said,” medical centers have already begun to use the tool to transcribe physician consultations. The listener explains that, according to the article, the use of Whisper in these contexts has led to numerous ‘hallucinations' from the AI tool and the listener asks Ken what his thoughts are on how tools like Whisper should be integrated into various industries. [00:20:21] A listener asks for Ken's thoughts on a series of articles by Kevin Roose in The New York Times claiming that there is no reason to learn how to code and program because very soon AI will take over all coding. Mr. Roose also asserts that the time is soon approaching when we need to have discussions on what rights to grant sentient AI. [00:21:57] A listener asks Ken if he concurs with a report from the National Academy of Medicine titled “Generative Artificial Intelligence in Health and Medicine – Opportunities and Responsibilities for Transformative Innovation,” which notes that large language models (LLMs) hold huge promise for patient care and healthcare system workflows, as well as risks. The listener asks if Ken agrees with the report's claims that two areas in which we could see near term applications of LLMs are patient education and synthesis of information of electronic medical records. [00:23:35] As a follow up question, Ken is asked about the aforementioned report's discussion of the “digital twin” concept. A digital twin is a computational representation of a patient or disease that could be used to speed up virtual experiments or subgroup analysis of investigational agents that carry risk for real patients. [00:26:26] A listener asks for Ken's thoughts on a paper published in the journal of Nutrition Health and Aging titled “Effects of Vitamin D3 Omega 3 Fatty Acids and a Simple Home Exercise Program on Change in Physical Activity Among Generally Healthy and Active Older Adults.” The paper claims that among generally healthy,

Imagine we could have a digital version of our entire body which could help us, and our doctors, decide what life style is good for us, predict which diseases we might get, and how to best treat them? In short, what if we could all have our very own digital twin? The idea isn't quite as sci-fi as it sounds. A gigantic scientific effort called the Physiome Project is about piecing together a mathematical description of the entire physiology of the human body. Once this has been achieved to a sufficient level digital twins will be a spin-off. In this podcast we revisit an interview we did back in 2019 with Steven Niederer, who was then Professor of Biomedical Engineering at King's College London but has since moved to a new position at Imperial College London as Chair of Biomedical Engineering. Niederer told us about the physiome project, about how the fitbits many of us own are a very first step towards a digital twin, and about how you can model individual human organs such as the heart. We also challenge ourselves to explain differential equations in one minute. You can find out more about maths and medicine, differential equations and mathematical modelling on Plus. We met Niederer in 2019 when he helped to organise a research programme at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge.

We connect with Jason Hehman, leader of Industry 4.0 at TXI, to understand the use of digital twins in supply chains operations — how they help manufacturers predict and manage supply chain disruptions and assess the impact of raw material shortages or logistics delays, and we explore the key data sources manufacturers need to build an effective supply chain digital twin.

In this Scope Forward conversation, Praveen Suthrum speaks with Leo Grady, founder and CEO of Jona. Leo's background sits at the intersection of healthcare AI and microbiome science — a rare combination that's defining the future of gut health diagnostics.Their discussion explores why the microbiome is not a distant promise but clinically actionable today. They dig into why AI isn't just a tool but a necessity to interpret the complex, rapidly expanding world of microbiome research. Leo breaks down how Jona's platform creates a “digital twin” of the gut microbiome, simulating evidence-based interventions rather than offering general advice.Praveen and Leo also dive into why most existing microbiome companies miss the mark — often selling supplements rather than driving real clinical change — and how Jona was built to fill that gap with science at its core. The conversation closes with a look at why gastroenterology must — and is beginning to — take the lead in bringing microbiome research into everyday practice.Top Insights from the Conversation:02:27 - The Microbiome Is Clinically Actionable — TodayThousands of studies already link gut flora to chronic disease. Leo challenges the belief that it's “too early” — arguing there's sufficient evidence to act now, not a decade later.03:57 - AI Is the Only Way to Navigate the ComplexityWith 2,000+ new studies published monthly, no human can keep pace. Jona's custom AI filters and interprets this tidal wave of research, making personal, evidence-based recommendations possible.05:03 - Jona Builds a Digital Twin of the GutJona sequences an individual's microbiome and models how interventions — diet, supplements, medications — would alter it, based on interventional studies. It's a simulation grounded in real, published science.10:23 - Most Microbiome Startups Fall ShortMany existing companies sell the promise of gut health, but without scientific rigor. Jona was founded because Leo saw an opportunity to ground microbiome testing in solid evidence, especially for serious GI conditions.15:45 - Business Model: AI-Powered Microbiome InsightsJona sells precision gut tests, using AI to match microbiome data with clinical research—delivering evidence-based insights, not supplements.22:19- Clinical Use of Microbiome Testing Must Be Evidence-BasedJona's recommendations — whether to change diet or introduce a probiotic — are directly tied to published research, with confidence scores that help clinicians weigh the strength of evidence.26:43 - Jona's AI as a Domain-Specific Language ModelJona's AI acts like a specialized LLM trained on microbiome literature—matching patient data to published studies and simulating outcomes. It doesn't just read research; it reasons with it.37:05- Gastroenterology Must Lead the Way — and It IsWhile the microbiome has often been developed outside of GI, Praveen and Leo highlight how the field is shifting. GI physicians, with leaders like Dr. Lawrence Kosinski, are increasingly stepping up to shape the future of microbiome diagnostics and therapeutics.#digitalhealth #gastroenterology #thescopeforwardshow #nextservices #gi #future #ai #theshift #microbiome

In this concluding episode of our deep dive into miniaturized perfusion systems, we tackle the most challenging aspect: implementing meaningful process analytical technology (PAT) at microscale while keeping costs realistic for high-throughput applications.Tom Valentin, group leader at CSEM for Automated Sample Handling, continues sharing CSEM's pioneering work in automated sample handling, revealing both the breakthrough opportunities and stubborn technical barriers that define the current state of small-scale perfusion development.Critical insights you'll gain from this episode:The PAT miniaturization challenge is about more than size: While optical density sensors work reasonably well for microbial cultures, mammalian cell applications demand more sophisticated solutions. Tom explains why viable cell density remains the "holy grail"—and how promising technologies from companies like IMEC and Inspec are pushing the boundaries, though cost-effective 96-well implementation remains elusiveSmart compromises can unlock practical solutions: Tom reveals why the industry may need to accept hybrid approaches—real-time pH and DO monitoring combined with once-daily viable cell density sampling. He also explains the unique challenges of sensor positioning in shaking deep-well plates where liquid dynamics create measurement complexitiesPartnership models that actually work for biotech innovation: Beyond the technical discussion, Tom outlines CSEM's proven collaboration approaches, including how Innoswiss funding can provide 50% cost reduction for development projects and why their 70% proposal success rate makes them an attractive R&D partner for both startups and established pharma companiesDiscover how bioprocessing is evolving - from high-throughput screening to digital twins and continuous manufacturing- in these expert-led episodes.Episode 155: From Process Bottlenecks to Seamless Production: How Continuous Bioprocessing Changes EverythingEpisodes 153-154: The Future of Bioprocessing: Industry 4.0, Digital Twins, and Continuous Manufacturing Strategies with Tiago MatosEpisodes 85-86: Bioprocess 4.0: Integrated Continuous Biomanufacturing with Massimo MorbidelliEpisodes 73-74: Bead-Based Assays: The Power of High-Throughput Screening with Sebastian GiehringConnect with Tom Valentin:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/tom-valentin-5bb9091bWebsite: www.csem.ch/enEmail: thomas.valentin@csem.chNext step:Book a free consultation to help you get started on any questions you may have about bioprocessing analytics: https://bruehlmann-consulting.com/callDevelop bioprocessing technologies better, faster, at a fraction of the cost with our 1:1 Strategy Call: The quickest and easiest way to excel biotech technology development.

Smart manufacturing, adaptive production, and automation will be vital strategies as the aerospace and defense industry transforms its manufacturing processes. However, implementing those strategies can be expensive, and manufacturers will want to make sure they avoid issues during the process. To ensure they receive the full return on investment from transforming their processes, A&D manufacturers should leverage the production digital twin. In this episode of Talking Aerospace Today, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace Defense, and Marine for Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Sunil Chhabra, from Portfolio Development in manufacturing engineering for Siemens. Together, they explore what a production digital twin is and how A&D manufacturers can use it to optimize their production processes.   In this episode, you will learn: The definition of a production digital twin What benefits the production digital twin can bring to manufacturing processes How detailed simulations from the production digital twin can be The role of the production digital twin across the production lifecycle

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-22-2025: Dr. Dawn explores groundbreaking cancer research using high-throughput "digital twin" analysis to reverse colon cancer cells back to normal states, identifying three master molecular switches that can induce normal cell differentiation without killing the cancer cells, thus avoiding traditional chemotherapy side effects. She discusses remarkable results from Memorial Sloan Kettering showing 80% of patients with mismatch repair deficient tumors, including all 49 rectal cancer patients, saw complete tumor disappearance after six months of dostarlimab immunotherapy, with no recurrence at five years and minimal side effects. The program covers innovative CRISPR applications, including targeting previously "undruggable" cancer mutations like KRAS and BRAF by selectively degrading mutant RNA messages while preserving healthy genes, offering unprecedented precision in cancer treatment. Dr. Dawn explains a clever immunotherapy approach that disguises tumors as pig organs using Newcastle disease virus carrying alpha-gal enzyme, tricking the immune system into mounting fierce attacks against cancer cells, showing promising results in both monkey and human trials. She describes fascinating research using cryoshocked tumor cells as Trojan horses, where liquid nitrogen-treated cancer cells carrying CRISPR gene editing tools directly seek out tumors, offering superior targeting compared to injecting CRISPR. The show reveals how cancers create protective acid walls around themselves to repel immune cells, with individual cancer cells pumping lactic acid away from the tumor center to form pH 5.3 barriers that kill attacking CD8 T cells within hours. Dr. Dawn discusses breakthrough mRNA cancer vaccines for glioblastoma using patients' own tumor cells, showing rapid immune system activation within 48 hours and extending survival in both dogs and humans with this aggressive brain cancer. She explores the "flower code" mechanism where cancer cells gaslight healthy cells through epigenetic manipulation, expressing dominant "flower win" codes to overpower normal cells expressing "flower lose" codes in biological turf wars. The program addresses systemic problems in cancer classification, explaining how organ-based categorization delays access to effective treatments, with patients waiting years for drugs that could help based on molecular profiles rather than tumor location. Dr. Dawn concludes by highlighting medical discrimination against people with Duffy null phenotype, primarily affecting African Americans, whose naturally lower neutrophil counts lead to reduced chemotherapy doses and excluded clinical trial participation despite no increased infection risk.

Companies harvest 6GB of your data hourly. Psychologist Sandra Matz explains how they predict everything from depression to politics—and how to fight back.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1135What We Discuss with Sandra Matz:Companies collect ~6GB of data per hour on individuals through social media, credit cards, smartphones, and location tracking, enabling predictions about personality, politics, and mental health.Facebook identified depressed teenagers in 2015 and sold this information to advertisers rather than providing support, prioritizing profit over well-being.Algorithms need just 300 likes to know someone better than their spouse, while facial recognition can determine sexual orientation with 81% accuracy from facial features alone."Anonymized" data isn't truly anonymous — three credit card transactions can uniquely identify a person, revealing unintentional information beyond our curated online personas.Data co-ops offer a practical solution for regaining control. MS patients in Europe and Uber drivers in the US have formed co-ops to collectively manage their data, allowing them to benefit from data aggregation while maintaining ownership and directing outcomes toward their shared interests rather than corporate profit.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
