- A 2018 paper titled “Reversal of Cognitive Decline: 100 Patients” (Sharlin et al.) was circulated, describing a multi-modal therapeutic program (diet, lifestyle, targeted supplements, hormone optimization) that reportedly reversed mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer’s in a cohort of 100 individuals; the full protocol table is available in an open-access PMC article (PMC4221920).  
- Participants debated the historical role of cypherpunks in creating foundational Internet security protocols: maaku noted that early SSL was commercialized by cypherpunk-adjacent actors and that SSH was first announced on the cypherpunks mailing list, while kanzure questioned whether TLS and SSH were truly cypherpunk-driven versus standards-committee products.  
- A 2017 USENIX Security paper, “Compromising Computers with Synthesized DNA,” was shared; it demonstrates how malicious DNA sequences can exploit bioinformatics pipelines to achieve code execution on sequencing machines, highlighting a novel bio-cyber attack vector.
