- A 1941 Review of Scientific Instruments paper comparing Geiger-Müller tubes, secondary-electron multipliers, and photographic film for detecting weak X-rays was retrieved and mirrored at diyhpl.us after the channel’s paperbot initially failed to fetch it.  

- Participants proposed a literal “monkeys flying out of someone’s butt” bio-art project: combining CRISPR/Cas9 transgenic-monkey work with converting sigmoid-colon tissue into uterine endometrium to enable male pregnancy, extending the thought-experiment to a “butt-gestating six-assed flying monkey.”  

- Practical lab talk centered on scavenging discarded biotech equipment: one participant rescued a 96-well plate washer by unclogging a pinched tube, while another acquired an obsolete Sysmex CA540 automated blood-coagulation analyzer for teardown and conversion into an open-source liquid-handling robot.  

- A paper on “Instant inkjet circuits” was shared, describing an inkjet-printing method for rapid prototyping of flexible, ubiquitous-computing devices.  

- When a Springer-paywalled chapter (DOI 10.1007/978-3-540-85156-1_334) was requested, the community located the PDF and provided a temporary file-dropper link, illustrating ad-hoc open-access literature sharing.  

- PubMed link PMID 24136970 (Xie et al., Science 2013) was highlighted: mouse brain interstitial space expands 60 % during sleep, enhancing cerebrospinal-fluid convection and β-amyloid clearance, framing sleep as a neuro-waste-removal process.  

- rechemco.net, a chemical supplier claiming to accept Bitcoin for custom synthesis of prostaglandins, cannabinoids, and pheromones, was discussed with skepticism about legitimacy and purity.  

- Dave Asprey’s biohacker-celebrity status and daily butter-consumption advice were debated, with participants weighing scientific merit against perceived pseudoscience.
