- A proposal was floated for an “Octopart-style” sortable/filterable database of biotech and nootropic supplies, emphasizing automated parameter comparison (e.g., dosage, purity, price) to eliminate manual transcription of product specs.  
- Participants debated how far automation should go: while automated ordering was considered, it was rejected for now to avoid drop-shipping and repackaging liabilities, especially for regulated compounds.  
- The Science Code Manifesto (sciencecodemanifesto.org) was highlighted—co-signed by Peter Norvig and Joe—advocating open, reproducible code in scientific research.  
- A Google Docs spreadsheet tracking the growth of uploaded objects on Thingiverse was shared, offering a longitudinal view of open-source 3-D printing activity.  
- Links to bulk nootropic suppliers (e.g., Jarrow Formulas product list) were posted, indicating ongoing interest in sourcing cognitive-enhancement compounds at scale.  
- The Unix Hater’s Handbook (simson.net/ref/ugh.pdf) was circulated, suggesting critical reflection on legacy computing paradigms relevant to open-source bioinformatics tooling.  
- A request was made for educational invertebrate-physiology videos, underscoring the channel’s appetite for accessible biology teaching materials.
