• FDA released draft guidance on technical considerations for 3-D-printed medical devices; the 112-page document covers design, manufacturing, and testing requirements and is available at http://www.fda.gov/ucm/groups/fdagov-public/@fdagov-meddev-gen/documents/document/ucm499809.pdf.

• Robin Hanson’s “Age of Em” book tour includes an Oxford stop on 15 May 2016, noted as a potential networking opportunity for transhumanist researchers.

• Channel participants expressed skepticism about the value of engaging directly with Hanson, suggesting his positions may be too fixed for productive technical exchange.

• Routine discussion of travel and event logistics reflects the community’s ongoing coordination around conferences, meet-ups, and speaker tours.

• Aside from the FDA document and Hanson event, the log contains no substantive technical threads, links, or debates; most traffic consists of join/part messages and light banter.
