- The Humanity+ Caltech 2010 conference was live-streamed at http://bit.ly/hhTiU and http://humanityplus.org/conferences/stream/, with transcripts and summaries later posted at diyhpl.us/diyhpluswiki/transcripts/humanityplus-at-caltech and wiki.dandascalescu.com/summaries/Humanity_Plus_conference_at_Caltech_2010.

- Aubrey de Grey’s commentary on the Harvard mouse longevity study was circulated via Accelerating Future, while Genescient’s “superflies” and the commercial supplement StemCell 100 (lifecode100.com) were discussed as emerging life-extension leads.

- DIY biology and open-source science were highlighted through links to the BioCurious interview with Joseph Jackson, Marcus Wohlsen’s forthcoming “Biopunk” book, and the Springer volume “The Future of Aging” (springer.com/biomed/book/978-90-481-3998-9).

- EU herbal-medicine regulation was debated after mention of the 2011 THMPD licensing requirement; participants noted that vendors such as thmpd.eu offer paid assistance to navigate the new rules, prompting skepticism about “snake-oil” marketing.

- A nanoparticle-based glucose-monitoring tattoo for diabetics was shared from Inhabitat, illustrating wearable, minimally invasive health-tracking tech.

- NanoEngineer-1’s atomic library was inspected: it supports C, O, Si, Al but lacks Fe, Ca, Mg—elements abundant in lunar regolith—prompting discussion of its limitations for space-resource modeling.

- Git repository maintenance for an unnamed CAD project was completed; kanzure announced the Subversion-to-Git conversion finished, and fitzsim reviewed branch hygiene (e.g., cad-ninad experimental branches) and patch workflows.

- TSA body-scanner double standards were critiqued via an AAPS article: the same devices barred from medical use for “inadequate study” are deployed for airport security.

- Calorie-restriction and longevity blogging posts (nutritionsciencewriter.blogspot.com) covering “information overload,” “maximum human lifespan,” and “building Methuselahs” were repeatedly referenced.

- Ancillary links included a Flickr set of Rube Goldberg machines, Shirow Masamune citations, ccv computer-vision forks on GitHub, and Twitter’s #hplus backchannel.
