- Discussion of MIT-hosted research by Seneff linking autism, GMOs, and glyphosate; key claim is that glyphosate disrupts human gut bacteria via the shikimate pathway even though human cells lack it.  
- Channel members debate the ethics and scientific rigor of reading only paper conclusions while ignoring methodology; consensus is that methods sections are essential for evaluating research quality.  
- Interest in historical price data for high-end CNC equipment surfaces; kanzure shares a 1993 paper on the machine-tool industry’s technological evolution as a potential source.  
- A MEMS “nanoinjector” for gene delivery into single cells (phys.org article) is highlighted as a promising, low-cost route toward DIY gene-hacking.  
- Microscopy images of ultra-small bacteria (~0.009 µm³) are cited as establishing a lower size bound for hypothetical self-replicating nanotech systems.  
- Recurring frustration that many “new” 3-D-printed microfluidics projects (e.g., sugar-based sacrificial molds) were already demonstrated by jmil years earlier.
