- A Futurism article was shared describing the use of DNA as “ink” in a 2-D printer to build complex 3-D organic micro-structures, suggesting a new hybrid bio-3-D-printing technique.  
- kanzure circulated a blog post that details a potential asymmetric backdoor hidden in RSA key-generation algorithms that leverages Curve25519, highlighting cryptographic security concerns for open-source projects.  
- CaptHindsight posted a series of links (Sall4, RAD51, 53BP1-mCherry) asking how different proteins repair double-strand DNA breaks, framing an open question about the molecular mechanisms underlying genome stability and stem-cell maintenance.  
- Discussion of automated extermination systems referenced IEEE Spectrum’s “poison robot submarine” and prior laser-based mosquito killers, prompting speculation on what other pests or targets could be handled by fully autonomous hardware.  
- kanzure recalled and linked the OpenROV project (open-source underwater drones) as an example of community-built submersible robotics relevant to both exploration and potential autonomous pest-control applications.
