- A National Academies panel on 26 Feb 2021 discussed “Heritable Human Genome Editing” as part of Rare Disease Week; the archived webcast is available at https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/02-26-2021/heritable-human-genome-editing-rare-disease-week-discussion and was flagged as a window into how policy-makers are “deciding your future.”

- The channel revisited alternative musical input devices: the 4-row Janko keyboard (isomorphic layout) was demonstrated in a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK4REjqGc9w), and a low-cost conversion method using popsicle sticks was linked (http://www.brassee.com/files/A_Janko_keyboard_adapter.pdf).

- Participants compared the Janko layout to the Axis-64, with the terse verdict “axis 64 > janko,” implying ongoing evaluation of ergonomic musical interfaces.

- A brief technical aside on combustion engineering noted that wet wood can be burned efficiently by forcing extra oxygen with a hair-dryer-scale blower, though the flame becomes hot enough to smelt iron and consumes fuel rapidly, illustrating principles scalable to automated pellet boilers.

- An auction of surplus lab equipment (https://www.k-bid.com/auction/36995) was dismissed as “not worth it even at five bucks,” reflecting the community’s low regard for the offered gear.
