- Alternate-day calorie restriction (eating alternately below and above daily needs) was highlighted as a life-extension intervention supported by a 2006 PubMed study (PMID 16529878).  
- Serotiny.bio, a drag-and-drop protein-design platform, was introduced along with its open “notes on useful proteins,” a JSON dump of Cas9 parts, and its connection to the Science paper “Protein structure determination using metagenome sequence data.”  
- A new PNAS paper demonstrated successful Cas9-mediated genome editing in the methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina acetivorans, expanding CRISPR tools to non-model organisms.  
- Discussion of productivity systems for “transhumanist/singularity-whores” concluded that surrounding oneself with people several orders of magnitude more productive is more effective than any formal GTD-like methodology.  
- Recent neuroscience and bioengineering literature shared included: (1) connectomics-based visual-motion circuits in Drosophila, (2) super-resolution imaging of vesicle–actin coupling during axon growth, (3) Shrm4’s role in GABAB-receptor trafficking linked to epilepsy and intellectual disability, (4) a computational model of memory reconsolidation and extinction, and (5) CRISPR screening protocols using unique molecular identifiers.
