- A Nature paper reports successful cellular recovery in pig organs after 90 minutes of whole-body warm ischemia, raising new possibilities for organ preservation and resuscitation research.  
- Researchers combined in-vitro selection with machine-learning to evolve DNA aptamers, offering a programmable alternative to antibodies for sensing and therapeutic applications.  
- A large germline-mutation study (MUTYH DNA-repair defect) shows markedly higher somatic mutation and cancer rates yet no detectable acceleration of systemic aging, challenging mutation-centric theories of aging.  
- Discussion of skin-microbiome interventions: anecdotal evidence that daily soap use disrupts odor-controlling commensal bacteria, while topical Nitrosomonas eutropha sprays (Mother Dirt/AO+ Mist) and 1 % lactic-acid solutions are proposed as gentler antifungal and deodorant strategies.  
- Channel members debate the rarity and potential trainability of eidetic memory in children, noting the absence of longitudinal heritability studies and questioning whether language acquisition or modern visual habits (e.g., eyeglasses) suppress the trait.  
- A Twitter thread featuring Anders Sandberg, Eliezer Yudkowsky, and others reflects on the evolution of transhumanism: the movement’s shift from radical enhancement advocacy to a broader cultural stance, the ongoing TransVision 2022 conference in Madrid, and arguments that human cognitive enhancement is the only viable counter to AI existential risk.
