- A newly published mouse study demonstrates that in-vivo epigenetic reprogramming can partially reverse an artificially induced progeria-like aging phenotype, providing the first in-vivo evidence that systemic rejuvenation interventions may be feasible in mammals.

- Participants framed China’s multi-billion-dollar push into thorium-cycle nuclear research as the most scalable and environmentally acceptable route to rapid global nuclear deployment, driven primarily by domestic air-quality and energy-security concerns.

- The longevity-focused Discord server at https://discord.gg/ftSbffu was announced as an active hub where practicing longevity scientists and citizen researchers collaborate; a bridge bot (https://github.com/reactiflux/discord-irc) is being configured to integrate this community with the IRC channel.

- Seattle’s new non-profit community lab “SoundBio” was highlighted in GeekWire coverage as a replicable model for city-level DIY-bio incubators, offering shared equipment and wet-lab access to accelerate grassroots biotechnology projects.

- Kallithea (https://kallithea-scm.org) was endorsed as a fully open-source, self-hosted alternative to GitHub for version control of scientific code and hardware designs, with at least one developer already mirroring an ImplicitCAD fork to hedge against centralized platform risk.

- IEEE-NEMS 2017 was identified as a key venue for presenting advances in MEMS, nanotechnology, and molecular-scale engineering, with an open call for participation aimed at transhumanist hardware developers.

- A participant achieved the first successful pump-down of a personal scanning-electron microscope (SEM), signaling progress toward low-cost, open-source nanoscale imaging capabilities for independent researchers.

- Channel members debated terminology for comprehensive personal data logging—encompassing biometrics, sleep, and other quantified-self streams—seeking a single concise word to describe the practice of “self-documentation” or “self-tracking.”
