- A ferromagnetic model for cryopreservation was discussed: a paper proposes that trace magnetite (Fe₃O₄) and other ferromagnetic contaminants in tissues can be mechanically oscillated by weak low-frequency magnetic fields, disrupting ice-crystal nucleation in supercooled water and thus improving cryopreservation outcomes.  
- The Organ Preservation Alliance convened a multi-stakeholder meeting at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, signaling growing federal interest and potential new funding for cryobiology and organ-banking research.  
- A GoFundMe campaign (“Banking Organs to Save Lives” by Tanya Jones) was circulated to support further work on organ cryopreservation and long-term storage.  
- A critique was raised against Eliezer Yudkowsky’s claim that “it takes 796 generations for a trait to reach saturation”; participants argued that advantageous trait clusters can spread and exert selection pressure long before full population saturation, and that human-directed technologies will further shorten this timescale.  
- Fish-oil supplementation was noted to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and prolong gestation by ~4 days, highlighting unexpected metabolic and reproductive effects of common supplements.  
- Channel members lamented the lack of an easy web interface to grep the public IRC logs; two separate log archives were mentioned—gnusha.org/logs (399 MB, split files) and a single 28 MB file at transhumanizam.fizika.org/hplusroadmap.log—prompting discussion of a simple Flask-based search tool.
