- A PNAS paper on “coalescing minds” was discussed as a potentially superior alternative to mind uploading, with AlonzoTG claiming to have conceived the idea a decade earlier.  
- Network-neuroscience findings were highlighted: severe cognitive impairment correlates with reduced clustering (segregation) and increased path length (integration) in brain networks, independent of white-matter volume (Cerebral Cortex, 2011).  
- A PNAS study on brain network topology was linked: http://www.pnas.org/content/104/24/10240.full.pdf+html  
- Reddit post on pulsed tDCS for multipath time-division multiplexing was circulated: http://www.reddit.com/r/tDCS/comments/v7d3d/pulsed_tdcs_for_multipath_tdm/  
- Mathematica’s internal structure was summarized—~20–30 kernel engineers, ~10–15 front-end engineers, and historical revenue of ~$66 M globally around Mathematica 5.  
- A lichen-derived sulfated polysaccharide (GE-3-S) was noted to inhibit HIV replication in vitro at 19.5 µg/mL (50 % inhibition) and 250 µg/mL (complete inhibition) without cytotoxicity (PubMed 2575016).  
- Source code from clipboard.com containing anti-Prototype work-arounds and heavy bit-shifting was posted for review: http://gist.github.com/2945275
