- A new resource site for tissue-clearing protocols (discotechnologies.org) was shared, detailing a multi-step solvent sequence—formaldehyde fixation, THF dehydration, dichloromethane exchange, and final clearing with a 1:2 benzyl alcohol/benzyl benzoate mix—to render biological samples optically transparent for imaging.

- Community members discussed building ultra-bright LED lighting rigs using $2, 100 W cool-white LEDs from AliExpress, noting practical constraints such as CPU-cooler heat sinks, ~30 W derating for noise/efficiency, and the need for diffusers or ceiling bounce to protect human eyes.

- Kanzure highlighted renewed private funding for stratospheric aerosol geoengineering (Bill Gates/Sun-dimming plan) and contrasted it with the Chinese “artificial moon” mirror concept, prompting debate on the scalability and feasibility of large space-based reflectors versus aerosol approaches.

- A detailed reverse-engineering post of the BioNTech/Pfizer mRNA vaccine source code (berthub.eu) was circulated, focusing on the substitution of uridine with N1-methyl-pseudouridine (1-Me-Ψ) to enhance mRNA stability and evade innate immune detection, clarifying that Ψ itself is naturally present in human tRNA but the methylated form is not.

- Fenn lamented the continued offline status of ganfyd.org, an expert-only medical wiki that has been inaccessible since 2019 due to an unresolved “server issue,” raising concerns about the fragility of specialized knowledge repositories and the absence of public backups.
