- A participant with half of an undergraduate chemistry degree asked for advice on how to prepare for a possible return to academia in five years, prompting discussion on whether to finish the chemistry program or pivot.  
- Chemistry was highlighted as a foundational discipline that currently underpins many scientific and engineering bottlenecks relevant to transhumanist research.  
- The same participant’s strong interest in mathematics was noted as a potential direction to emphasize in future study plans.  
- A link to a Stanford Computational Imaging Lab paper on “Acoustic Non-Line-of-Sight Imaging” was shared, showcasing a technique that uses sound waves to reconstruct hidden scenes—relevant to sensing and imaging technologies for bio-monitoring or augmented perception.
