- Inkjet printing of viable mammalian cells was highlighted via a 2004 Biomaterials paper (DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2004.04.011) and a Singularity Hub article on lab-grown organs; the group discussed locating video demos of the process.  
- A MEMS microfluidic perfusion system for thick brain-slice cultures was shared (SpringerLink paper), along with an IEEE paper on implantable microfabricated fluid-delivery devices and a Max-Planck paper describing a field-effect transistor interfaced with recombinant potassium channels for neurotransmitter sensing.  
- Wolfram Mathematica 7’s new integrated genomic and protein data search capabilities were noted as a potentially powerful tool for bio-research.  
- kanzure posted working code for extracting graph cut-sets (find-all-cutsets.py) and discussed unit-test failures, cycle-cutset decomposition methods, and the pygraph library; links to Wikipedia diagrams illustrated the concepts.  
- A large electronics salvage operation was described: two IBM 370 storage cabinets with 12-inch+ hard drives, 240 V power supplies, and 24-inch fan-fold printers—parts to be repurposed for lab projects.  
- Channel logistics: Traveler25 launched a Java-webchat gateway at transhumanistforums.com/hplusroadmapchat, while Utopiah suggested the Mibbit web client as an alternative entry point for newcomers.
