• A newly-published Science paper (DOI: 10.1126/science.343.6170.477) was circulated showing that common antioxidant supplements can accelerate tumor growth by activating the p53 oncogene, directly challenging the anti-aging rationale for high-dose antioxidant use.  
• Participants retrieved two additional high-impact papers via paperbot: a Cell/Neuron study (DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2013.09.046) likely covering neural-circuit or BCI advances, and a Nature article (DOI: 10.1038/nature13011) on an undisclosed topic in neuroscience or longevity research.  
• The 15-minute documentary “Transhuman” by Titus Nachbauer (http://hplusmagazine.com/2014/01/31/video-friday-transhuman-documentary-by-titus-nachbauer/) was recommended as weekend viewing for its overview of contemporary transhumanist themes.  
• A GitHub pull-request debate in the Counterparty cryptocurrency project (https://github.com/PhantomPhreak/counterpartyd/pull/9) was highlighted as a case study in open-source governance tensions and protocol-change friction.  
• The integrated-circuit reverse-engineering wiki and EDA-tool resource http://siliconpr0n.org was introduced as the only technical reference shared during the session.  
• The remainder of the log consisted of administrative chatter, repeated netsplits, and client instability, underscoring the fragility of IRC as a coordination medium for distributed biohacker and transhumanist communities.
