- Eclipse Phase RPG was critiqued for its neologism “a transhumanity” and for using an “ego constraint psychology” mechanic to artificially cap post-human power escalation in gameplay.  
- Horizontal gene transfer in eukaryotes was highlighted: lab evidence shows mitochondrial DNA from one plant species integrating into the nuclear genome of another in ~3 % of surveyed species, challenging traditional tree-of-life models.  
- The 2005 Genome Research paper “The net of life: Reconstructing the microbial phylogenetic network” (Kunin et al.) was cited as foundational evidence that microbial evolution is better represented as a web than a branching tree.  
- An open-access “Journal of Post-Scarcity” is being planned, along with a systematic archive of prior post-scarcity economics literature; the defunct diepunyhumans.com forum was noted as a historical source.  
- Recent ScienceDirect alerts covered a wide range of enhancement-relevant research: leukocyte telomere length and female cognition, gut-microbiota links to celiac disease, silver-nanoparticle antimicrobials, and 4-D CT-guided liver-cancer radiotherapy.  
- Neurocognitive enhancement therapy paired with vocational services demonstrated improved two-year employment outcomes, providing empirical support for cognitive-augmentation programs.  
- A high-throughput automated microscopy RNAi screen was presented for identifying genetic modifiers of the DNA-damage response to ionizing radiation, bridging genomics and radiation biology.  
- Self-assembled biodegradable micellar nanoparticles from amphiphilic/cationic block copolymers were introduced as programmable siRNA delivery vehicles, advancing targeted gene-silencing tools.
