- OpenWorm’s C. elegans simulation is still not exhibiting sufficiently “worm-like” behavior; participants note that only some computational-fluid-dynamics modules currently work.  
- Discussion of ultra-high-throughput biology: kanzure claims current lab-on-a-chip formats can reach ~1 million wells, not merely 4,000, and nmz787_i proposes a stacked-well electrophoresis design with gel sandwiches for vertical DNA transfer.  
- DIY gene-editing “compiler” efforts are under active development; nmz787_i is focusing on micro/nano-fabrication and enzymatic DNA synthesis from nucleotides rather than CRISPR-level editing.  
- A new visitor interested in whole-brain emulation (WBE) and computational neuroscience was directed to the channel’s curated resource hubs: diyhpl.us/wiki/, diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/, and diyhpl.us/~nmz787/M&M%202015/Index.html.  
- Participants brainstormed deliberately unethical human sleep-deprivation experiments to elucidate sleep’s biological purpose, suggesting neural autopsies with antibody/aptamer labeling for proteomic/transcriptomic inventories.  
- Panamax container-ship charter rates have fallen to ~$5,400 per day—below operating costs—prompting tongue-in-cheek proposals to repurpose vessels as floating gene-hacking clinics, paint-ball arenas, or transhumanist labs.  
- Sci-Hub access issues prompted sharing of rotating domain suffixes (.cc, .la, .ac) and a GPU-generated vanity .onion address for resilient paper access.  
- Links circulated include MIT’s Cancer-X research portal, a “How to Destroy the Earth” satirical essay, and a Science Translational Medicine paper on financing health care via consumer loans instead of perpetual treatment rents.
