- A curated list of reverse-engineering resources and a Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute course on binary exploitation were shared (https://github.com/fdivrp/awesome-reversing, http://security.cs.rpi.edu/courses/binexp-spring2015/).  
- Recent CRISPR-focused literature was highlighted, including genome-edited T-cell therapies, massively parallel CRISPR/Cas9 variant engineering, the role of homology arms in nuclease-assisted editing, dCas9-directed evolution via somatic hypermutation, and a nano-silicon-blade delivery method for human hematopoietic stem-cell editing.  
- An open-hardware RISC-V ecosystem overview was posted, covering the superscalar out-of-order BooM core, in-order Rocket and Z-scale cores, educational Sodor core, PicoRV32, and SiFive’s partially open FE310 used in the HiFive1 Arduino-compatible board.  
- A user reported owning a HiFive1 board with the FE310 RISC-V microcontroller and experimenting with writing a Lisp interpreter for it.  
- A 3-D electron-microscopy video of an entire adult Drosophila brain at synaptic resolution was circulated (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xyv-6XHhJY).  
- Studies on the interaction between radio-frequency electromagnetic fields and λ-DNA were referenced (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25996732).
