- Cryonics Institute is viewed as the least drama-laden provider; Russia’s KrioRus is rumored to be destabilized by a messy divorce among its principals.  
- Participants debate the merits of Nectome-style chemical fixation versus liquid-nitrogen storage, noting that a true “plastination” product would eliminate dependence on continuous LN₂ supply and human stewardship, allowing fail-safe mountain-side vaults in places like Svalbard.  
- EUCRIO is identified as the only European standby/stabilization/transport service for cryonicists, but it does not itself store patients, highlighting a geographic gap in full-service cryonics.  
- A Swiss alpine storage facility—jokingly suggested next to “Nazi gold”—is proposed as a politically neutral, geologically stable alternative to U.S. or Russian options.  
- Science paper “The widespread IS200/605 transposon family encodes diverse programmable RNA-guided endonucleases” (DOI: 10.1126/science.abj6856) is shared as a new source of compact, programmable RNA-guided nucleases potentially useful for genome editing.  
- ArXiv preprint 2108.13027 is circulated: a passive non-line-of-sight computer-vision method that counts people or infers activity by observing only a blank wall in an unknown room, framed as a modern “Plato’s cave” scenario in the age of AI.
